A first-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment in Kingsford Court offering practical, secure living for the over-60s. The building includes a house manager, 24-hour staff cover, a residents’ lounge and dining room, weekly cleaning, activities and mobility scooter charging—services designed to reduce day-to-day upkeep.
The flat is ready for immediate occupation with no upward chain and six months’ service charge already paid. Accommodation includes a living room with fireplace, breakfast kitchen, double bedroom with fitted storage, large bathroom and ample internal cupboards. Communal gardens, a hobbies room, lift access and off-street residents’ parking add convenience.
Important practical points: the lease has 98 years remaining and the current service charge is high (around £716.90pcm / £8,592pa). The wider area shows higher crime levels and significant local deprivation, which may affect resale and personal security perceptions. Flooding risk is medium. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown.
Strengths for downsizers: low-maintenance living, on-site support, social communal facilities and good transport links to Solihull town centre and the A45/M42 corridor. Drawbacks to budget and lifestyle: the substantial service charge, local area issues and medium flood risk—buyers should verify service charge inclusions, building insurance and personal security arrangements before committing.
