This two-bedroom first-floor flat offers an affordable entry into Birmingham with a long 236-year lease, private garden and allocated off-street parking. Set within an early 20th‑century commercial conversion, the accommodation includes a modern fitted kitchen, a spacious reception room and double glazing throughout — practical features for everyday living.
The property is being sold via auction which suits buyers who can move quickly. Be aware of the sale terms: completion is required within 56 days, a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.50% (minimum £6,600) is payable by the buyer, and a Buyer Information Pack costs £349. Inspect the property and check mortgage suitability with your lender before bidding.
Practical considerations: heating is electric via room heaters which can mean higher running costs than gas systems. The building appears well maintained but the area is classified as very deprived; local amenities are plentiful, broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent. This flat could work as a cost-effective starter home or a rental purchase for investors focused on yield, but budget for running costs and factor the auction fees into your purchase calculations.
Viewings are recommended for anyone seeking a chain-free purchase with long lease security, a private outdoor space and central connections in a busy urban area. The flat’s straightforward layout and modern kitchen give a good base for cosmetic updates to add personal value.
