This two-bedroom apartment at The Shires, located on Wake Green Road in Moseley, Birmingham, is part of a new build retirement development, marketed for the over 55’s. The property is presented in immaculate condition, with high-quality finishes and modern amenities evident in the provided images. The interior features stylish décor, a modern kitchen and bathroom, and ample living space. The location within Moseley offers access to well-regarded schools (St Bernard’s Catholic Primary, Moseley School and Sixth Form are particularly close) and convenient transport links (though specific distances to amenities aren’t given in the data). While the photos demonstrate a communal garden area, there’s no obvious private outdoor space associated with the apartment itself. The price reflects a 50% shared ownership model and seems to fall within a reasonable price range for the area, although a lack of square footage data limits a definitive price per square foot assessment.

The development itself offers residents communal facilities which may include a library, cafe and salon. This could be a significant selling point for prospective buyers particularly those seeking a convenient and supportive living environment. However, potential buyers should carefully consider the implications of the shared ownership structure, which would usually involve a separate mortgage for the purchased share and a monthly service charge to cover communal areas and building maintenance.

Overall, this property presents itself as a well-maintained, attractively finished, and conveniently located apartment, though the absence of private outdoor space and the shared ownership model are important points to note. Further information on the apartment’s size, service charges, and the specific facilities offered, would be essential for a prospective buyer to fully assess its value and suitability.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
