A chain-free, first-floor maisonette set back in a small leafy cul-de-sac close to Shirley town centre. The home includes an allocated parking space with a single garage, communal gardens and an extended lease (145 years remaining). The footprint is compact at about 433 sq ft, with a lounge-diner, kitchen and two bedrooms — a practical layout for a first home or buy-to-let.
The property will suit buyers seeking a low-external-maintenance home with immediate parking and easy access to buses, shops and nearby business parks. Broadband potential is strong for the postcode, and mobile signal is reported as excellent. Council tax is described as cheap, and there is no ground rent.
Practical drawbacks are clear: the interior is dated and will require modernization to meet contemporary standards; the living area and bedrooms are modest in size. The location records high crime levels and is in a very deprived area classification, which may affect resale or rental demand. Service charges run to about £1,098.26 per year (paid half-yearly), so factor ongoing costs into budgeting.
Overall, this maisonette offers an affordable, low-upkeep entry into the Solihull market with long lease security and parking. It represents good potential for a first-time buyer prepared to modernise, or an investor seeking a straightforward let in a well-connected suburban location.
