This one-bedroom apartment on Warwick Road is a compact, secure home suited to investors or a single buyer seeking low-maintenance urban living. The building offers gated entry, lift access and allocated off-street parking, helping the property feel private and convenient in a busy area. Olton train station and local amenities are within easy reach, supporting strong rental demand and easy commuting to Birmingham.
At about 412 sq ft the layout is efficient: an open-plan living and kitchen area, a double bedroom with built-in storage and a bathroom with shower-over-bath. The kitchen includes integrated appliances, and the property benefits from a long lease (around 117 years remaining), modest ground rent (£175 p.a.) and a competitive annual service charge (£851). These factors keep ongoing costs predictable for owners or landlords.
Notable drawbacks are straightforward: the flat is small, heated by electric room heaters rather than central heating, and sits in an area with higher crime levels — factors buyers should weigh for personal use or lettings. The local area has pockets of deprivation despite nearby well-regarded schools and good transport links. Investors should allow for a conservative lettings strategy and consider any upgrade costs to heating or decorative finishes.
Overall, this is a practical, low-upkeep apartment with secure parking and solid lease terms. It will suit investors seeking a city-edge rental or a first-time buyer who prioritises location and affordability over generous living space.
