A compact two-bedroom maisonette arranged over first and second floors, located on Church Street, Cradley Heath. The property offers an open-plan living/kitchen, bathroom, and two small bedrooms — practical for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let purchaser seeking city-suburban affordability. Interiors include double glazing, gas central heating, wood-effect flooring and built-in storage, with a private entrance and a small forecourt.
Important practical points are clear: the flat is small (approx. 537 sq ft) and in a very deprived, high-crime neighbourhood, which will affect resale and rental outlook. The lease has about 79 years remaining and carries a ground rent of £300; some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend until the lease is extended. There is no obvious off-street parking and external areas are limited to a small frontage and narrow rear space.
The layout and low running costs (very cheap council tax) make this a reachable entry on to the property ladder. Modern fixtures and an open-plan living area mean minimal immediate work for a move-in, though certain external and internal areas show wear and would benefit from updating. Prospective buyers and lenders should check lease documentation and factor lease-extension costs into purchase budgeting.
For an investor, the compact footprint and central location near shops and transport can produce steady demand for rental lets, but the neighbourhood profile and lease length are material considerations for financing and long-term capital growth.
