Summary - Flat 25 Pakenham Village, 25, Gilldown Place B15 2LR
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free ground-floor flat near universities and transport links.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, approximately 519 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom ground-floor flat in Pakenham Village, offered chain-free with a long lease (134 years). At about 519 sq ft, the layout suits a buy-to-let purchase or a first-step purchase for someone prioritising location over space. The property can be sold vacant or currently achieves £1,100 pcm, making it an immediate income generator for investors.
Positioned off Wheeleys Road within the Calthorpe Estate, the flat is a short walk from Five Ways station and close to Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Birmingham University. Local amenities, cafés and bars in Edgbaston Village and Harborne High Street are nearby, while good private and state schools are within easy reach. Broadband is reported fast and there is no flood risk.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters and the main fuel is electricity, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated properties. The property pays a service charge of about £1,050 per year and is in a neighbourhood with above-average crime — factors to check with insurers and management. EPC is D and glazing is double glazed (unknown install date).
This is a straightforward, location-driven opportunity: strong local rental demand and excellent transport links counterbalance the small internal area and basic heating. Buyers should budget for potential updates and confirm all costs and occupancy details with their legal adviser.
