Affordable top-floor studio with long lease, parking and loft space — ideal first purchase or buy-to-let.
Top-floor studio with open plan living/bedroom and separate kitchen
This compact top-floor studio in Norfolk House offers an affordable entry into Kings Norton with a long lease and no onward chain. The open-plan living/bedroom, separate kitchen, allocated parking and a fully boarded loft make it a practical choice for a single buyer or investor seeking straightforward rental stock.
The flat is small (approximately 333 sq ft) but usefully arranged, with built-in storage, double glazing and canal-facing kitchen window. The 150‑year lease, no ground rent and a low annual council tax (Band A) are strong ownership advantages. Service charges are modest at around £820 per year.
Heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC is D; buyers should budget for running costs and consider potential improvements to heating or insulation. The property sits in a very deprived area with above-average recorded crime — important for owner-occupiers to note and for investors to factor into rental strategy and pricing.
Overall this studio is best suited to a first-time buyer seeking a low-cost purchase with minimal legal complexity, or an investor after a simple, let-ready unit with scope for cosmetic updates and rental income.
