Step onto the property ladder with this one-bedroom first-floor flat in Dobbins Oak Road, Pedmore. The apartment offers a generous double bedroom, a spacious reception room, and a separate kitchen — practical living spaces for a single buyer or couple. Double-glazed windows and gas central heating provide basic comfort, while the communal grounds add outdoor space without maintenance of a private garden.
This is an affordable, compact home with clear investment appeal: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and strong commuter links put the wider region within easy reach. The building dates from the mid-20th century and presents a solid, functional layout that will suit buyers looking to personalise rather than move in immediately. The property is offered at £95,000 with low council tax (Band A).
Be aware of important practicalities: the flat is leasehold with 84 years remaining — below the level many lenders prefer and requiring prompt attention to extend. Annual service charge is approximately £1,200 with a nominal ground rent of £10. The local area scores high for deprivation and has above-average crime; buyers should weigh these factors and seek solicitor and mortgage advice prior to purchase.
Overall this apartment is best for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors prepared to modernise. It’s a straightforward, affordable home with clear scope to add value, but lease length and area issues are material and should factor into any decision.
