Summary - Church Road, Birmingham, West Midlands, B13 B13 9AG
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free, long-lease flat close to shops and soon-to-open train links.
One-bedroom first-floor Victorian conversion, circa 593 sq ft
A light-filled one-bedroom first-floor flat in a Victorian conversion, offered chain free and ready to move into. At about 593 sq ft this apartment combines period character—high ceilings and bay-window details—with a modern fitted kitchen, shower room and a spacious living-dining area. The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, off-street residents’ parking and fast broadband, making it practical for everyday living or immediate letting.
Ownership is straightforward: share of freehold with approximately 964 years remaining, no ground rent reported and a below-average service charge of £960 per year. Council Tax Band A keeps annual costs low. Its location is a short distance from Moseley Village’s shops, cafes and forthcoming train station, which will appeal to first-time buyers seeking local amenities and commuters looking for better links.
Be candid about drawbacks: the neighbourhood records high crime rates and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental yields. The building’s solid-brick construction (circa 1900–1929) likely lacks cavity insulation, so heating costs and retrofit work should be considered. While the flat is presented in move-in condition, buyers wanting a fully modernised period home may choose to update finishes.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a well-located, low-cost entry into the market or an investor wanting a straightforward buy-to-let with minimal immediate work. Balance of long lease, low charges and proximity to Moseley Village are clear positives; factor in local area challenges and potential insulation improvements when assessing overall value.
