This well-presented two-bedroom flat sits in a quiet residential pocket of Harborne, offering a straightforward, low-maintenance home or rental opportunity. The open-plan living space and modern fitted kitchen make efficient use of the property’s 637 sq ft, with two good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Allocated off-street parking and communal gardens front and rear add practical outdoor space.
Practical costs and ownership details are clear: the property is leasehold with about 118 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,560 per year and a small ground rent of £150. There is no scheduled review period for these charges. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, although mobile signal is excellent.
The location suits first-time buyers, small families and buy-to-let investors thanks to nearby shops, parks, good travel links into Birmingham and several well-rated local schools. Be aware the neighbourhood scores high for deprivation and has above-average crime figures; buyers should factor local area conditions and service charges into affordability and rental-yield calculations.
