Summary -
Flat 8 Honnington Court,1, Manor House Close,BIRMINGHAM,B29 5LA
B29 5LA
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Budget-friendly 70% shared-ownership flat close to local shops and transport.
Ground-floor one-bedroom in Over-55s complex
A practical ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in an exclusive Over-55s complex, offered as 70% shared ownership and sold with no onward chain. The layout includes an entrance hall, a lounge, fitted kitchen, shower room and a double bedroom. Residents benefit from double glazing, electric storage heating, communal gardens and off-street parking.
This property will suit a downsizer or investor seeking low-maintenance independent living close to Weoley Castle Square. The building provides a quiet, sheltered setting with nearby shops, bus links and local amenities within easy walking distance.
Important drawbacks are straightforward: the lease has approximately 65 years remaining and the shared-ownership arrangement means only 70% equity is included. Many mortgage lenders restrict lending on leases below standard thresholds, so buyers should check finance options in advance. The wider area scores high for deprivation and recorded crime is higher than average — buyers should factor local environment and safety into their decision.
Offered at a low guide price, this is a budget-friendly route into retirement housing or a potential buy-to-let for specialist landlords familiar with low-lease, shared-ownership stock. Practical updates and modest refurbishment could improve comfort and long-term value, but financing and lease-extension costs will be important considerations.
