The list price of £258,965 for a 2-bed, 775 sq ft apartment falls within the range of similar properties in the area, considering it’s a retirement apartment. The lack of specific pricing data for comparable properties in the same development hampers a precise comparative analysis. However, it is reasonable compared to other properties in the local area; however it is difficult to be certain without knowing the sq ft prices for comparable properties in the same building and taking into account the lifetime lease.

Based on the provided photos, the apartment appears to be in excellent condition. It’s modern, well-maintained, and features contemporary fixtures and fittings. The interior looks new or recently renovated, suggesting a high standard of upkeep.

The property benefits from its proximity to several highly-rated schools such as Kingswood School and Tudor Grange Primary Academy, both rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. The nearby Shirley train station provides convenient access to public transport. While the immediate surroundings may lack extensive amenities, its location within Shirley offers a relatively quiet residential area while still being within reasonable distance to more extensive shopping and leisure facilities in Solihull. This makes the location good but not exceptional.

The property is an apartment with no mention of a private garden or significant outdoor space, therefore is scored as low as possible. The communal gardens are mentioned, but that is not private land.
