Property Oracle says ..

This two-bedroom semi-detached house in Northfield, Birmingham, presents a mixed bag. The location is its strongest asset. Proximity to local amenities, schools (including a ‘Good’-rated primary school), and transport links to Birmingham city centre is advantageous. However, buyers should be prepared for some renovation work. While the property appears structurally sound, the interior needs modernisation. The kitchen and bathrooms, in particular, appear dated, and the carpets need replacing. The garden is present but requires landscaping, while the driveway and garage provide practical additions. Ultimately, the £170,000 asking price appears competitive considering similar properties in the area, but potential buyers should factor in costs associated with the property’s modernisation. The lack of plot size information is a notable drawback for a thorough assessment, but based on the photos, it appears to be of average size for such a property. The ‘no upward chain’ aspect could be a significant attraction to potential purchasers. In summary, it’s a property that offers potential but requires investment to fulfil its potential.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
