A chain-free, freehold three-bedroom terraced house in Selly Oak currently let until June 2026, offering an immediate rental income of £1,560 pcm. The property sits close to the University of Birmingham, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and local transport, making it well-placed for student or professional lets. Internal floor area is compact (≈797 sq ft) with a contemporary living room and a modern, well-lit kitchen.
This is a clear investor proposition: steady income in a proven student neighbourhood and low ongoing selling friction due to no onward chain. Construction dates to the early 20th century (solid brick), which brings period character but also some thermal limitations — walls are assumed uninsulated. Heating is mains gas central heating and glazing is double, though install dates are unknown.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the house is small with a small plot, has only one bathroom, and sits in an area with higher crime statistics, which can affect management and insurance costs. The property is rented until mid-2026, so vacant possession will not be immediate. Council Tax band is B (relatively cheap), and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong.
Overall, the house suits an investor seeking a low-entry, income-producing asset close to major local demand drivers. Factor in potential retrofit costs for wall insulation and routine maintenance for an older, solid-brick build when assessing yield and future capital growth.
