This modern first-floor apartment in Newman Square offers an accessible route onto the housing ladder via 45% shared ownership. Constructed in 2019, the home presents two double bedrooms, an en-suite to the master and an open-plan lounge and kitchen that opens onto a small balcony — ideal for first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance, contemporary living.
The apartment is well-specified for its age: gas central heating, double glazing, integrated kitchen appliances and two allocated parking spaces. At 447 sq ft the layout makes efficient use of space, and the communal block has secure entry. Local amenities are strong — shops, supermarkets and eateries in Shirley, good local schools and direct transport links to the wider motorway and rail network.
Material points to note: this is a leasehold property sold as 45% shared ownership. There is approximately 98 years remaining on the lease, an annual service charge of about £1,202 and a monthly rent for the unsold 55% of around £344.60 (to be verified by your solicitor). The overall floor area is compact, which may suit single buyers, couples or buyers wanting a lock-up-and-leave home rather than those needing extensive living space.
Other practical factors: council tax is band B (relatively low), broadband and mobile signal are good, and the building is recently built so major works are unlikely in the short term. However, local recorded crime is above average — consider local checks if this is a priority. For buyers seeking an affordable entry into Solihull/Shirley with modern fittings and commuter convenience, this apartment is worth viewing.
