Summary - 28 CROFT CLOSE BIRMINGHAM B25 8XJ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Newly renovated, long lease, affordable two-bed in Yardley — ideal first purchase or rental bolt-on..
Chain-free second-floor two-bedroom apartment
A chain-free, newly renovated two-bedroom second-floor apartment in a quiet cul-de-sac of Yardley offering straightforward, affordable ownership or rental potential. The flat has two double bedrooms, a bright lounge, fitted kitchen and bathroom, plus communal garden and off-street parking — useful practical features for first-time buyers or investors.
The lease is long at 149 years and the property is offered with no onward chain, making purchase logistics simpler. Recent double glazing and the recent refurbishment reduce immediate maintenance, but heating is by electric storage heaters which can be costly compared with gas systems. Service charges average £2,040pa and ground rent is nominal (£10), so budget for ongoing communal costs.
Set within a 1960s/70s block with utilitarian character, the apartment is compact (c.499 sq ft) and best suited to buyers who prioritise location and low-entry price over expansive living space. Local amenities, good bus links and several well-rated primary and secondary schools make this a practical choice for commuters, young families or landlords targeting reliable rental demand.
Bear in mind the wider area shows higher deprivation levels and average crime; buyers should factor local market conditions into long-term plans. Overall, this is a pragmatic, move-in-ready flat that offers strong affordability and clear rental or first-home potential, provided you accept compact living and electric heating costs.
