Summary - 8 RAVENHURST MEWS ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM B23 6AZ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Refurbished two-bed retirement flat sold at 70% value for over-60s owner-occupiers.
Two bedroom first-floor retirement apartment with stair lift access
A bright two-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Ravenhurst Mews, offered for owner-occupiers aged 60+. The flat has been recently refreshed with a refitted kitchen and shower room, new floor coverings, double glazing and modern electric heating; a stair lift gives access to the first floor and the property has its own entrance. Communal grounds, residents and visitor parking, a 24-hour emergency call system and a scheme manager (on-site during weekdays) support independent living.
This property is part of an independent retirement scheme sold at 70% of full market value for qualifying purchasers. The location is convenient for local shops, bus routes (around 350m) and Gravelly Hill station (approx. 950m), and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The flat is chain free and ideal for someone seeking low-effort living close to amenities.
Important practical points: this is leasehold with 63 years remaining from the original 99-year term. That limited lease length may prevent mortgage lending; buyers should check finance options and expect conveyancing scrutiny. Annual service charge is £2,566.08 (reviewed annually) and there is no ground rent. The property sits in a high-crime, very deprived area, which may affect long-term resale and local amenity perceptions.
Buyer suitability: best for an eligible over-60 owner-occupier who values an accessible, low-maintenance apartment with on-site support and good local transport links, and who accepts the lease length and service charge profile.
