Summary - 48 FLAT 12 HANDSWORTH WOOD ROAD BIRMINGHAM B20 2DT
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable city studio with period features and refurbishment potential.
Chain-free first-floor apartment with communal garden and parking
This compact first-floor studio-style apartment offers an affordable entry into Handsworth Wood with off-street parking and shared gardens. The layout includes a lounge, one bedroom, fitted kitchen and shower room, all arranged over approximately 335 sq ft. It is chain-free and has about 107 years remaining on the lease, making it suitable for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a low-maintenance let.
The property retains period character such as high ceilings and large windows, giving good natural light and scope to modernise. Running costs are influenced by electric room heaters and an EPC rating of D; the council tax band is very low which helps ongoing affordability. Service charge and ground rent are £1,170.80pa and £250pa respectively.
Buyers should note the apartment’s small overall size and solid-brick construction with internal insulation; some updating may be required depending on finish. The wider area has higher-than-average crime and significant deprivation indicators, which will affect long-term demand and resale values. For investors, short-term rental income is possible, but factor in refurbishment, management and the service charges when calculating returns.
This property suits someone seeking a budget-friendly city base or a buy-to-let with refurbishment potential. It offers immediate occupation without a chain, practical outdoor space, and a position near good local schools, transport links and community amenities.
