This second-floor two-bedroom apartment sits a stone's throw from Olton Station, offering a straightforward commuter base into Solihull and Birmingham. The layout is traditional with a medium-sized living room and bedrooms, double glazing throughout, gas central heating and a secure fob entry to the block. Low service charges and a very modest ground rent of £10 make the running costs competitive for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The interior shows signs of age and would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value — the decor is dated in places but the rooms are well-proportioned and ready for improvement. On-street parking is available rather than allocated parking, which suits occasional drivers but may be limiting for households needing guaranteed space. The lease has around 93 years remaining; buyers should note lease length when arranging mortgage/solicitor checks.
Practical local strengths include very low local crime, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to schools rated Good, shops and leisure facilities in Solihull. There is no flood risk and the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, with cavity walls and partial insulation — further insulation or refurbishment could improve comfort and running costs. Internal viewing is essential to appreciate the space and potential.
Overall this is a sensible entry-level purchase or rental opportunity for someone seeking a well-located property with scope to add value through straightforward improvements. Be aware of the leasehold status, on-street parking only and the cosmetic work needed to bring the flat up to a modern standard.
