Affordable starter home with garage and easy city access.
Two generously sized bedrooms, practical fitted kitchen
A first-floor, two-bedroom apartment offering straightforward, affordable entry into Birmingham with easy city-centre access. The lounge is generous and the fitted kitchen is practical for everyday use; two storage cupboards in the entrance hall add useful space. Outside, well-kept communal grounds and a garage en-bloc provide extra storage and parking options.
This flat is suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase. Council Tax is very low and broadband/mobile connectivity is strong for the area. The property is double glazed and has an EPC rating of D, but main heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can increase running costs.
There are some material caveats to consider: the remaining lease is 81 years, which will need urgent attention and likely cost to extend. The block sits in a high-deprivation area with above-average crime rates, and the building dates from the late 1960s/1970s, so cosmetic updating and longer-term maintenance should be expected. Service charge is approximately £1,100 per annum (including ground rent).
Overall, the apartment offers clear value for buyers prepared to manage the lease extension and potential upgrades. It’s a practical, well-located starter home or a lettable investment with immediate rental appeal given transport links and nearby schools.
