Compact modern flat with parking and fast broadband, ideal for first-time buyers.
Two bedrooms, approx. 650 sq ft
This two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Great Western Court offers a compact, modern home or buy-to-let opportunity in Acocks Green. The flat totals about 650 sq ft, with a contemporary fitted kitchen, a living room with standard ceiling height and double glazing, plus allocated off-street parking and communal garden areas. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and local transport links are convenient for Birmingham.
Notable positives include the modern build (2007–2011), fast broadband, allocated parking and proximity to several well-rated primary and secondary schools. The property is practical for first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward rental flat in a well-connected urban area.
Buyers should consider material drawbacks: the lease has around 80 years remaining, which may cause mortgage lenders to refuse finance. Annual costs include an approximate service charge of £1,000 and a ground rent of £200. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating, which can be more expensive and less controllable.
The surrounding neighbourhood is classified as deprived with higher-than-average crime levels; buyers should factor this into security and insurance needs. The apartment is structurally modern and low-maintenance but offers limited room sizes and some potential for cosmetic improvement if a larger, more contemporary heating system or long lease is required.
