This 50% shared-ownership, two-bedroom upper-floor apartment offers an accessible route onto the property ladder in Erdington. The apartment has a spacious lounge, a fitted kitchen/diner and a modern bathroom, plus communal gardens and resident off-street parking within a well-kept low-rise development. The layout is compact and efficient, suited to a couple or first-time buyers wanting an affordable starter home.
Owning half the property carries a rent on the remaining share of approximately £335 per month; there is scope to purchase further shares in the future. The home is leasehold with around 106 years remaining — potential buyers should factor in leasehold administration and any additional lease pack fees.
Practical elements are clear: built in the early 2000s with double glazing, cavity wall insulation and electric storage heating. These reduce immediate refurbishment needs, but buyers should note the reliance on electric heating and consider running costs. The apartment is in a deprived area classification with average local crime statistics, although local schools and transport links are convenient for daily commutes.
Overall this property is a straightforward, low-maintenance starter home with modest communal outdoor space and parking. It suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into ownership or investors looking for a lettable, modern apartment in a residential suburb of Birmingham.
