This top-floor two-bedroom apartment in DY1 offers an affordable entry into Dudley with a practical, well-maintained layout. The open-plan lounge and kitchen benefit from plentiful natural light and a Juliet balcony, creating a bright social space for everyday living or letting.
Energy efficiency is a genuine strength: the property holds an EPC B rating, which should help keep running costs down compared with older electric-heated flats. Allocated off-street parking and a modest communal garden add convenience and outdoor access, useful in a built-up area.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with 103 years remaining and an annual service charge around £1,933; factor this into affordability and rental-yield calculations. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating in winter. The local area shows higher-than-average crime levels and very high area deprivation, so buyers prioritising neighbourhood safety should consider this carefully.
Overall, this compact 541 sq ft apartment is suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-entry price in a modern block, provided the service charge and electric heating are acceptable. A viewing will best show the bright interior and practical layout.
