Summary - 40 NORTH ROAD SELLY OAK BIRMINGHAM B29 6AW
3 bed 2 bath Terraced
Minutes from campus, ideal for investor buy-to-let demand.
Three bedrooms and two bathrooms, suitable for sharer/student lets
A compact three-bedroom, two-bathroom mid-terrace in Selly Oak presented as a ready-made student investment. The property sits a short walk from the University of Birmingham, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and local transport links, positioning it well for strong rental demand from students and hospital staff. Being sold with no onward chain and on freehold tenure simplifies acquisition and lets you convert swiftly to lettings.
Internally the layout works for sharers: a ground-floor bedroom and shower room, separate living room and kitchen, plus two first-floor double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The house totals about 786 sq ft and benefits from a small private courtyard—low-maintenance outdoor space attractive to tenants. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add practical appeal for modern renters.
The building is a Victorian mid-terrace (circa 1900–1929) with solid brick walls; glazing is double but install dates are unknown. There is no confirmed wall insulation and many internal fixtures appear dated, so modest refurbishment—particularly insulation, décor and heating checks—would both improve comfort and increase rental value. Flooding risk is assessed as medium, which should be considered for insurance and tenant safety planning.
Overall this is a value-focused buy for investors targeting student or short-term lets. The location and two-bathroom layout are strong income drivers, while required upgrades and medium flood risk are realistic costs to factor into purchase and management plans.
