Location: Harborne is a popular and sought-after suburb of Birmingham, known for its excellent schools, convenient amenities, and attractive residential areas. The property’s location on Fitz Roy Avenue places it within easy reach of local shops, schools (such as Our Lady Of Fatima Catholic Primary School, just 0.37km away), and transport links. The proximity to several train stations (though all over 3km away) provides good access to Birmingham city centre and beyond. This contributes to a high location score.

Condition: The property appears to be well-maintained, though the interior décor is dated and may require updating to suit modern tastes. The kitchen and bathrooms seem reasonably modern, but other areas show signs of age. The overall condition suggests a need for some modernisation and cosmetic improvements, rather than extensive renovations.

Land: The property benefits from a sizeable plot of 3,535.94 sqft, offering a generous garden area. Images show a well-established garden with mature trees and shrubs, providing privacy and outdoor space. The presence of a shed and patio further enhances the outdoor area. This is a significant positive factor.

Price: The list price of £1,250,000 for a 3,053.72 sqft detached property in Harborne is considerably higher than the average price for the area (£348,914). However, the larger size and plot of this property, compared to the average, justify a higher price. Considering nearby comparable properties (though sqft data is missing for those properties), the price seems high but not entirely unreasonable, given the property’s size and location. The price per sqft is significantly higher than the area average, suggesting a premium for the property’s features and location.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
