This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment on Osbourne Close offers straightforward, low-maintenance living close to Birmingham city centre. The generous lounge and two double bedrooms make it a practical choice for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for rental demand near schools and transport links. The property sits in a small terrace/mews development with communal outdoor space and on-site parking including a garage.
The apartment is sold at Modern Auction with an undisclosed reserve and a non-refundable reservation fee; buyers should allow 56 days to complete and complete their own legal and survey checks. The flat is leasehold (details being compiled) and runs on electric storage heating — useful for straightforward servicing but potentially higher running costs than gas. Photographs show presentable interiors that appear to need mostly cosmetic updating rather than major structural works.
Location is a key practical advantage: easy access to the M6 and local buses, and nearby primary and secondary schools including a highly rated secondary. Note the area records higher crime and significant deprivation indices, which will affect long-term resale values and rental yields; purchasers should factor this into offer and finance decisions.
Suitable buyers are those seeking an affordable entry into property ownership or a compact investment unit requiring modest refurbishment. Complete due diligence is essential given auction sale terms, buyer fees, and outstanding lease information.
