This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Perry Barr, Birmingham, presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. The property’s location offers convenient access to public transportation, including Hamstead Train Station within a kilometer. There are also several primary and secondary schools nearby, notably Dorrington Academy with an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating, boosting the family-friendliness of the area. However, Perry Barr isn’t considered a top-tier Birmingham suburb, which may limit its long-term capital appreciation.

Inside, the house appears to be in a reasonably habitable condition but requires significant modernization and refurbishment. The decor is dated throughout and some rooms are cluttered, hindering a complete condition assessment. The kitchen and bathroom require updating, and the overall interior would benefit from a fresh coat of paint and updated fittings. The photos also reveal uncompleted renovation work in what appears to be a converted garage or conservatory.

The property boasts a garden, albeit somewhat overgrown and unkempt. The images indicate it has potential but needs considerable landscaping to reach its full potential. The lack of precise plot size information makes accurate assessment difficult.

The list price of £320,000 falls within a reasonable range for a three-bedroom semi-detached house in the area. However, other similar properties listed on Yateley Avenue and nearby streets show a variation in pricing, with some properties demanding less for less upkeep. The necessary refurbishment of this property could substantially impact the overall value depending on the extent of the work required and the buyer’s DIY capabilities. Prospective buyers should factor in these costs before making an offer.

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