A practical second-floor one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Erdington, well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The flat offers a good-size lounge/diner, modern fitted kitchen, bathroom, loft access and a specified off-street parking space, all within easy walking distance of the high street and rail station.
Long-term ownership is supported by a lengthy 122-year lease and modest ground rent (£90/year). The development has a newly installed intercom with key fob and mobile connectivity, and well-tended communal grounds. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs down.
Buyers should note the property uses electric storage heating and has an EPC rating of D, which may affect ongoing energy bills. The annual service charge is £1,599.64 (reviewed annually), and the local area records very high crime levels — these are important factors for budgeting and security planning.
Overall this is an affordable, centrally located one-bedroom with genuine rental or starter-home potential, provided prospective purchasers accept the electric heating, service charge and local area considerations.
