Set on the second floor of a modern block in central Walsall, this two-bedroom apartment offers a straightforward buy-to-let or first-home entry at a low asking price. The layout includes a fitted kitchen, a living room with balcony access, two bedrooms and a shower bathroom, all within approximately 636 sqft. Lift access and a secure intercom provide practical convenience for tenants or owner-occupiers.
Key ownership facts support investment clarity: a long lease (about 102 years remaining), an average service charge of £2,600pa and a small ground rent of £125pa. Heating is via a community electric scheme and the building has double glazing from 2002 onwards, reducing immediate major upgrade costs.
Location is the apartment’s main draw — immediate access to Walsall town centre amenities, public transport and multiple retail and leisure facilities make it attractive for students and young families seeking convenience. Broadband is average and mobile signal is excellent, aiding tenant demand for connectivity.
Be transparent about the downsides: the property sits in a very deprived area with very high recorded crime levels, which will affect rental yields, demand and insurance costs. The apartment is leasehold, and the service charge is relatively high for the price point; prospective buyers should check service charge accounts and building management. Purchasers should also budget for routine redecoration and appliance checks, as no tests on fixtures and fittings have been provided.
