This second-floor two-bedroom flat sits in Castle Vale, within easy reach of local shops, bus routes and schools rated Good. The apartment offers a large lounge-diner, a fitted kitchen and two well-proportioned bedrooms across about 615 sq ft, plus access to communal grounds.
The sale is offered with no onward chain and an extended lease will be completed before completion — an important benefit for buyers. Ground rent is low at £20 and council tax is very cheap, helping running costs.
Practical considerations are straightforward: heating is by electric room heaters, broadband speeds are reported slow, and the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s. Prospective buyers should note the current lease shows 48 years remaining and some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend despite the planned lease extension; independent verification and legal/financial advice are recommended.
This property will suit someone looking for an affordable first home or a buy-to-let starter, particularly those prepared to accept electric heating and modest communal accommodation. A survey is advised to confirm condition and services before purchase.
