Bright first-floor home with garden and renovation potential for buyers.
First-floor two-bedroom flat plus study/nursery, generous internal space
91 years remaining on the lease — may affect some mortgage offers
Requires modernisation throughout; kitchen and finishes are dated
Private garden included; outdoor space rare for flats
Service charge and ground rent about £37.50 pcm each (£450 pa)
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — good for home working
Located in a deprived area with high local crime statistics
Council tax very cheap — low ongoing local tax burden
This first-floor two-bedroom flat with an extra study/nursery offers a spacious layout and genuine scope for improvement. Positioned on Church Street in Tipton, the home benefits from good transport links, nearby shops and several well-rated primary and secondary schools — practical for commuting families or first-time buyers wanting local amenities close by.
The property is sold leasehold with 91 years remaining. Accommodation includes a large lounge/diner, fitted but dated kitchen, two bedrooms, a study and a family bathroom. There is a private garden and the flat receives plenty of natural light, but much of the interior requires sympathetic modernisation to bring it up to contemporary standards.
Running costs are modest: council tax is very cheap and service charge/ground rent are approximately £37.50 pcm (around £450 pa) each. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which supports home working or renting.
Important negatives: the building is in an area classed as deprived and local crime levels are high. The lease length (91 years) is workable but may affect mortgage options and future resale value compared with longer leases. The property is being marketed as needing renovation, so budget for updating the kitchen, finishes and general refurbishment.
