This chain-free, two-bedroom semi-detached house sits on Reservoir Road, a short walk from the University of Birmingham and Queen Elizabeth Hospital. At about 903 sq ft across multiple storeys, the layout includes a ground-floor reception/bedroom, guest WC and open-plan kitchen diner, with two bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The property is freehold and comes with off-street parking and a private rear garden backing mature trees.
The house is a strong candidate for student or professional lets given the nearby campus and hospital; fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern tenant needs. The area mixes students and professionals, so rental demand is likely stable, and the low council tax helps running costs. Being chain-free makes a quick sale or purchase straightforward for investors or buyers seeking immediate occupation.
The property requires updating and some repair: descriptions note unkempt areas and a need for modernisation. The small plot and above-average local crime rate are practical considerations; buyers should factor refurbishment costs and local market conditions into any purchase. Flood risk is low and the building retains 1930s period features that could be refreshed to increase rental appeal or resale value.
Viewings are recommended for anyone seeking a value-driven project close to major employers and the university. Investors will find potential for an attractive yield after refurbishment; owner-occupiers who want proximity to local schools and transport should also consider the convenience against the renovation commitment.
