Compact starter property minutes from Shirley High Street and transport links.
Two bedrooms in a compact 596 sq ft first-floor apartment
This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment on Pailton Road offers a compact, practical layout suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking an affordable entry to Solihull. The lounge/dining room and kitchen provide functional living space and useful built-in storage, including a large walk-in cupboard that could double as a home office or tidy utility area. Secure communal entry and plentiful residents’ parking add daily convenience.
The property totals about 596 sq ft and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. Its location close to Shirley High Street gives easy access to shops, cafes, parks and regular bus and rail links to Birmingham and Solihull — useful for commuting and local amenities. Nearby schools include several rated Good.
Important practical details and drawbacks are stated plainly: the flat is leasehold with reported lease-length figures that should be clarified by your solicitor, and the annual service charge is relatively high at £2,520. The surrounding area records higher crime and significant local deprivation indicators, which may concern some buyers. The building dates from the late 1960s–1970s and the double glazing install date is unknown, so buyers should budget for standard checks and potential maintenance or updates.
Overall this apartment represents a low-cost route into the local market with decent transport links and useful storage, but it is best suited to buyers prepared to confirm lease details and accept the communal service charge and local area issues.
