Area classified as very deprived — may affect long-term growth
Ready-to-move-in one-bedroom flat in the heart of Moseley, offered chain free and set within a modern purpose-built block. The compact 425 sq ft apartment suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low running costs and straightforward ownership. It benefits from an allocated off-street parking space, double glazing and storage heating.
The layout is practical: entrance hall, open-plan lounge/kitchen, one double bedroom and bathroom. Interiors are serviceable but dated — a cosmetic update to the kitchen, flooring and lighting will significantly increase comfort and rental appeal. Service charge is modest at £88 per month and the lease has around 88 years remaining.
Location is a key strength: a short distance from Moseley Village’s cafés, independent shops and transport links (including the forthcoming Moseley station). Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent. The property faces no flood risk, and council tax is low (Band B).
Considerations: heating is electric storage radiators (higher running costs than gas), and the flat sits in an area flagged as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital appreciation. The building is modern (c.1996–2002) and structurally conventional, but internal fixtures and fittings will benefit from refurbishment to maximise value.
