Summary - APARTMENT 19, 137 WARWICK ROAD, OLTON B92 7HT
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable starter apartment with parking near Solihull amenities.
30% shared ownership — lower purchase cost, staircasing required for full ownership
A compact, modern one-bedroom apartment offered as 30% shared ownership — ideal for a first-time buyer wanting a lower entry cost and immediate move-in. The flat sits on the first floor of a well-kept contemporary block with landscaped communal grounds and an allocated off-street parking space. Light-filled living/dining space opens onto a Juliet balcony; the kitchen includes integrated appliances and the bedroom has built-in storage.
The building was constructed recently (2007–2011) and benefits from double glazing, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and an EPC B rating, which help keep running costs down. The property is chain free and has around 85 years remaining on the lease; council tax is very cheap, adding to affordability for a buyer stepping onto the ladder.
Buyers should note material drawbacks upfront: this is a shared-ownership leasehold (30% share) so full ownership will require staircasing and monthly payments to the freeholder/management company. The apartment is compact at approximately 530 sq ft and will suit a single occupant or couple rather than a family. The local area scores as deprived with a higher crime rate, which may concern some purchasers despite excellent transport links and nearby amenities.
Overall, this apartment is a practical, low-maintenance starter home with realistic potential for someone prioritising affordability, location, and ease of living, provided they accept the shared-ownership tenure and local area factors.
