This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on Matrons Walk offers an accessible entry into Selly Oak living with a long lease and no upward chain. The corner position brings extra light and a small private garden, while the open-plan living room and modern kitchen make efficient use of an average-sized 496 sq ft layout. Allocated off-street parking and an EPC rating of B add practical value.
Location is a key strength: the home sits close to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Selly Oak train station, Selly Oak Retail Park and the University of Birmingham — ideal for students, hospital staff, or first-time buyers seeking strong local rental demand. The building’s modern appearance and standard ceiling heights support a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Buyers should note the longer-running costs and local conditions: the service charge is approximately £1,500 per year and ground rent £150 per year. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and local crime levels are very high, which may affect some purchasers’ comfort and resale considerations. The tenure is leasehold with 993 years remaining — effectively a very long lease.
Overall this is a practical, chain-free starter home or buy-to-let near major employers and transport links. It suits purchasers who prioritise location and convenience and who are comfortable managing communal charges and local area factors.
