Summary - 108 PAILTON ROAD SHIRLEY SOLIHULL B90 3NX
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Move-in ready apartment near Shirley shops and transport links, ideal for first-time buyers.
Top-floor one-bedroom, recently refurbished throughout
This top-floor, one-bedroom apartment has been recently refurbished and is offered with no upward chain, making it move-in ready for a first-time buyer, investor or downsizer. The flat benefits from a new fitted kitchen with appliances, a modern bathroom with bath and electric shower, and a large lounge/diner that captures plenty of light. Communal gardens and resident parking create a peaceful setting a short walk from Shirley shops and good transport links to Solihull.
Practical features include useful hallway storage cupboards, a separate storage/office off the bedroom, and a new boiler. The lease is long (around 173 years remaining) and ground rent is nominal, but note the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of approximately £1,921.55. EPC currently rated D59; double glazing was installed before 2002.
Be frank about the local context: the immediate area records higher-than-average crime and indicators of deprivation, so buyers should weigh location advantages (convenience to shops and transport) against neighbourhood statistics. The block dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and shows typical construction features; prospective purchasers may want a survey if concerned about building fabric or insulation levels.
Overall this is a practical, compact home that suits someone prioritising convenience and low-initial-work purchasing. It offers rental potential or an affordable route onto the market, but buyers should budget for the annual service charge and assess wider neighbourhood factors before committing.
