A compact two-bedroom first-floor apartment on Reservoir Road, offered chain-free with a long lease (approx. 105 years remaining). At about 505 sq ft the flat suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors targeting steady student/tenant demand close to the University of Birmingham and Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The layout is simple and practical with a lounge, kitchen-diner, bathroom and two bedrooms. The block is a mid-20th-century brick building with modest room sizes and standard ceiling heights. Off-street parking and a secure communal entrance add everyday convenience.
Running costs look reasonable: low ground rent (£10 p.a.) and a below-average annual service charge (£396 p.a.). Note the wider area is categorised as deprived with above-average crime — a factor that will influence rental yields, resale and insurance considerations. Council tax band is unknown and should be confirmed.
