Newly renovated one-bed with garage, balcony and long lease in Harborne.
Share of freehold with a 975-year lease remaining
A smartly presented upper-floor one-bedroom apartment with a share of the freehold and an exceptionally long lease (975 years). The accommodation has been newly renovated throughout and benefits from a generous lounge/dining room that opens onto a balcony, a modern fitted kitchen, sleek bathroom with shower, and an included garage — useful for storage or parking.
Practical running notes are straightforward: the property uses electric heating via room heaters and double glazing is fitted. Service charges are approximately £2,280 per year (circa £190 pcm) and council tax is moderate. At about 494 sq ft the flat is a comfortable size for a single occupant or couple, but storage and living space are modest compared with larger homes.
Location is a key strength. Set in a well-kept mid-20th-century development in Harborne with easy access to Birmingham University, QE Hospital, local shops and regular buses into the city centre. Communal gardens, parking and an en bloc garage add everyday convenience. Broadband speeds are listed as fast and there is no flooding risk.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a ready-to-move-into home in a popular inner-city area. Be aware of the electric heating system (no gas central heating) and the ongoing service charge when assessing running costs, but the long lease and share of freehold remove typical leasehold concerns.
