Priced at £80,000, this one‑bedroom first‑floor flat offers an affordable entry into Erdington close to local shops and bus links. The living room is a good size for the apartment and the kitchen and bathroom are fitted, making the property move‑in capable for many buyers.
The building dates from the mid‑20th century and benefits from double glazing (installation date unknown) and secure intercom access. Service charge is £938 per year and council tax is very low, helping keep running costs down for a first‑time buyer or investor.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives: the flat is small at about 392 sq ft, heating is by electric room heaters, broadband speeds in the area are reported very slow, and local crime levels are very high. The tenure is leasehold; prospective purchasers should check lease length and covenants.
Overall this is a budget‑priced, centrally located apartment suited to a buyer who wants a compact home or a rental investment with straightforward upkeep. Viewing is recommended to assess room sizes and potential for light cosmetic updating.
