A two-bedroom maisonette on Paxton Road offering straightforward, city-edge living aimed at buy-to-let investors or first-time buyers seeking rental income. The property has an efficient layout with a good-sized kitchen/diner, separate lounge and two double bedrooms across a traditional split-level plan. The long lease (about 105 years) and mains gas central heating provide practical advantages for mortgageability and letting.
Location is a core selling point: a short walk to Birmingham city centre transport links, multiple nearby train stations and frequent bus routes, plus local shops and schools within about a mile. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting tenants who work from home or need reliable connectivity.
The flat is presented in generally tidy condition but does show signs that some updating would improve value and comfort — the exterior and some internal finishes need modernising. The immediate area has high crime levels and significant deprivation, which will affect rental yields, insurance costs and long-term resale comparability. Leasehold purchase fees (lease packs, admin) may apply, so budget for additional buying costs.
