This second-floor, two-bedroom apartment at The Heights offers low-maintenance, move-in-ready living in a well-managed modern block. The open-plan lounge and kitchen lead to a balcony that brings natural light into the living space; both bedrooms are a good size and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite. Allocated off-street parking and lift access add everyday convenience.
The property will be sold via Modern Method of Auction — buyers should note the non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and the 56-day reservation period. Tenure is leasehold with approximately 114 years remaining; annual service charge is about £1,560.48 and ground rent c. £410 per year. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a gas central system.
Location is a strong practical benefit: fast road links to Birmingham, Walsall and the M6, frequent bus and rail connections, and local shops, schools and amenities within walking distance. Broadband and mobile signal are reported good, supporting home working or lettings.
Be candid about the local context: the wider area is classified as multi-ethnic hardship with high deprivation and above-average crime rates. For buyers this means good rental demand and value entry prices, but it also brings community and safety considerations to factor into ownership or lettings decisions. Buyers should verify appliance and heating performance — services have not been tested.
Overall this is a straightforward option for investors seeking a city-edge buy-to-let, professionals wanting easy commuting, or downsizers after low-maintenance living — provided you accept the auction sale process and the ongoing leasehold costs.
