Summary - 582 CHESTER ROAD KINGSHURST BIRMINGHAM B36 0LH
3 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Ready‑to‑move three‑bed ground flat with parking — lease and service costs apply.
Three bedrooms in a ground‑floor apartment (approx. 606 sq ft)
61 years remaining on lease — likely to restrict mortgage lending
Service charge approx. £1,872 per year (review TBC)
Allocated off‑street parking and communal rear garden
Secure entry system; French doors from lounge to outdoor space
High local crime and area deprivation — consider safety/insurance
Mains gas heating, older double glazing, solid brick walls (no insulation assumed)
Excellent mobile coverage and fast broadband availability
This well‑presented ground‑floor three‑bed flat offers a practical, ready‑to‑move‑into option close to local amenities and transport links. The lounge opens via French doors to communal outdoor space, while a compact modern kitchen and shower room complete the accommodation. At about 606 sq ft the layout suits first‑time buyers, downsizers seeking single‑level living, or investors looking for a straightforward let.
Buyers should be aware of two material considerations. The property is leasehold with approximately 61 years remaining — many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend unless the lease is extended. Service charges are currently around £1,872pa and the building sits in an area with higher crime and local deprivation indices; take independent advice on affordability, lending and management costs.
Practical positives include off‑street allocated parking, a secure entry system, mains gas central heating and double glazing. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong in the area. The block is a mid‑20th century brick build (solid walls, assumed no cavity insulation), so future purchasers may want to budget for thermal upgrades over time.
Overall this is a turn‑key flat with clear short‑term usability and rental potential, but it comes with lease and communal cost issues that materially affect mortgageability and long‑term value. Viewing will show the apartment’s light, well‑equipped rooms and straightforward maintenance profile.
