Summary - 174 FLAT 9 FRANKLEY BEECHES ROAD NORTHFIELD BIRMINGHAM B31 5LW
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact apartment with garage and communal garden, ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain-free two-bedroom second-floor flat with 999-year lease
Light-filled two-bedroom second-floor apartment offered chain-free and with a 999-year lease — an attractive long-lease alternative to shared ownership. The flat includes a garage en-bloc and access to well-kept communal gardens, giving useful outdoor and storage space rare at this price point. Heating and glazing are up to standard, and excellent mobile signal plus fast broadband suit remote working or streaming.
Internally the layout is compact (approximately 599 sq ft) with an open-plan living area and a small cottage-style kitchen that requires modernization. The accommodation is suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for straightforward upkeep, but expect to budget for cosmetic upgrades if you want a contemporary kitchen and finishes.
Practical considerations: the service charge is around £1,300 per year and the area is classed as very deprived with average local crime — factors that could affect resale or rental yield. On the positive side, several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby and public transport links are close, making the location convenient for daily commuting and families.
Early viewing is recommended to assess the compact proportions and potential for improvement. This property offers long-lease security, low internal maintenance, and scope to add value with targeted refurbishment.
