Set on the 10th floor of a purpose-built block in sought-after Edgbaston, this two-bedroom apartment offers city-edge living with direct links to the University of Birmingham and Birmingham City Centre. The bright open-plan lounge/diner opens onto two balconies and delivers leafy views; a fitted kitchen, recently refitted bathroom and fitted bedroom wardrobes complete a tidy, move-in-ready interior. A garage in a separate block provides secure off-street parking — a notable premium in this area.
This property will suit cash buyers or experienced investors able to acquire with no mortgage due to the short lease (34 years remaining). Service charges currently total £642 per quarter (approx. £2,568 annually) and ground rent is £25 per year. These running costs and the short lease are material considerations: many high-street lenders are likely to refuse mortgage finance and lease extension will be costly.
The block sits in well-maintained communal grounds close to hospitals, transport links and local amenities, making it convenient for professionals, students or tenants seeking easy access to the city and university. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and there’s no flooding risk.
Summary: an attractively presented 10th-floor flat with parking and strong location benefits, but with a short lease that restricts purchase to cash buyers or those prepared to manage lease-extension costs. Ideal if you prioritise location and convenience and can accept the lease-related finance constraints.
