Compact and practical, this one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette sits in a quiet cul-de-sac in Moseley Parklands, close to M54/M6 links and local green space. The flat offers a large living room, double bedroom, basic kitchen and bathroom. Presentation is tidy but dated in places — the kitchen and bathroom would benefit from modernization to unlock full rental or resale potential.
Important finance and tenure matters will shape any purchase decision: the lease has c.56 years remaining, which is likely to restrict mortgage lending. The vendor has indicated they will extend the lease by 90 years on completion, but buyers should obtain written confirmation, a formal lease-extension timetable and quotes for costs before committing.
Running costs are modest: double glazing throughout, electric storage heaters and mains services; council tax band A. There is an allocated off-street parking space, a small garden, low service charge and a low ground rent, which help keep ongoing costs down.
This property suits a cash buyer, a buy-to-let investor able to manage lease and extension matters, or a first-time buyer prepared to resolve leasehold issues. It’s a low-maintenance, entry-level home with scope to improve finishes and increase appeal — but lease and lender constraints are the material drawbacks to factor in.
