Summary - 70 FAIRBOURNE AVENUE BIRMINGHAM B44 9AN
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Quiet cul-de-sac location with a large rear garden and fast broadband.
Three bedrooms plus large through lounge and dining space
A three-bedroom semi-detached house on Fairbourne Avenue offering clear rental and refurbishment potential. Set at the top of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property has a generous through lounge/dining room, a kitchen with adjoining sunroom/utility, and a large rear garden with rear access — practical for tenants and future owners alike. The building dates from the mid-20th century, with solid brick walls and double glazing; heating is gas boiler and radiators.
This sale is suitable for buy-to-let investors: the property is currently let and a Section 13 notice has been served to increase rent to £1,100 pcm. Completion will include both freehold and leasehold titles tied together. EPC is rated E and council tax band is C. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern tenant needs.
Notable concerns are factual: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime, and the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation — a potential energy upgrade cost. The leasehold element dates from 1950 (99-year term) and will transfer with the freehold on completion; buyers should review the title/lease paperwork carefully. The property is offered with tenants in situ and will require standard maintenance and possible updates to improve EPC and long-term rental value.
Overall, this is a straightforward, mid-century semi in a well-connected part of Great Barr. It will suit investors seeking immediate rental income and hands-on buyers prepared to carry out energy and cosmetic improvements to enhance returns.
