A spacious first-floor one-bedroom apartment offering c.732 sq ft of accommodation and clear buy-to-let or first-home potential. The flat includes a large lounge/diner with balcony, a separate office/additional living space, fitted kitchen and bathroom — practical rooms that will suit a single occupant or couple.
Key positives are the long lease (approximately 124 years remaining), communal off-street parking and gas central heating with double glazing where specified. The property is chain-free and being sold at auction, which can suit buyers looking for a quick purchase or investors seeking a straightforward acquisition.
Buyers should note the material considerations: the block is mid‑20th century construction with assumed cavity wall (no added insulation), decor and fixtures are dated and will likely need renovation, and the area records very high crime and very high deprivation. The sale is by the Modern Method of Auction — there is a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349) and a 56-day completion window. Service charge and ground rent apply (service charge c.£450, ground rent £10).
This apartment will suit investors seeking an affordable entry into Birmingham rental stock or a first-time buyer prepared to carry out improvement works. Inspect and budget for refurbishment, check funding and legal pack details before bidding, and factor in auction costs when assessing value.
