Secure, low-running-cost 2-bed ground-floor apartment with parking and long lease — ideal first home.
Two bedrooms and two bathrooms in a modern open-plan layout
This modern ground-floor apartment, built in 2022, offers a compact but well-presented two-bedroom layout with two bathrooms and an open-plan living space. Its energy-efficient EPC B rating, allocated off-street parking and CCTV-secured entrance reduce running and security concerns common to new buyers. A 997-year lease gives long-term certainty and low maintenance expectations for the tenure.
The property is small at 499 sq ft, so it suits buyers seeking a manageable, low-upkeep home or an investor seeking lettable modern accommodation. It benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus strong transport links to Birmingham by tram and rail — useful for commuters and young professionals.
Buyers should note the local context: the immediate area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels. There is a regular service charge (approx. £1,320 annually) to cover communal upkeep and CCTV; prospective purchasers should factor this into monthly costs. Internal space is compact, so expect limited storage and room flexibility compared with larger homes.
Overall, this apartment will appeal to first-time buyers wanting a secure, low-running-cost starter home close to public transport, or investors needing a modern, easy-to-manage rental unit. Viewings are recommended for anyone prioritising convenience, long leasehold security and low utility bills, but who is comfortable with the neighbourhood challenges and modest floor area.
