Set on the second floor with canal views, this two-bedroom apartment offers practical open-plan living and secure allocated parking—appealing for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance home close to Walsall town centre. The living area is generous for a flat of 657 sq ft and the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite, providing everyday convenience and rental appeal.
The building is modern (built 2003–2006) with double glazing and cavity walls, and the long lease (102 years) reduces near-term leasehold risk. Monthly outgoings include a service charge around £1,200 pa and a small ground rent of £75 pa; council tax is very cheap. Heating is electric storage radiators, which suits infrequent use but can be costly for constant heating.
Location is the strongest practical draw—easy walking distance to Walsall town centre, public transport and local amenities, with excellent mobile signal. However, the property sits in a very deprived area with very high local crime levels; this will affect both liveability and lettability and should be weighed when considering security and insurance costs.
Overall this is an affordable, ready-to-occupy apartment with sensible floorplan and parking. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and consider upgrading heating or kitchen fittings over time. Investors should factor in local demand, letting yields and potential management needs given the area profile.
