This two-bedroom apartment in Erdington, Birmingham, is currently listed for £110,000. The property is situated on Boundary Road, an area with convenient access to transport links such as Gravelly Hill train station. Nearby amenities include several schools, including Featherstone Primary School, which received a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating. However, the property’s condition is a significant drawback. The photographs show a property that requires substantial renovation work. The walls display noticeable damp patches and the overall interior is in a state of disrepair. The apartment itself is quite small with no garden; it appears to be in an apartment block. Considering the average property price for Boundary Road is around £132,483, the asking price for this apartment might be viewed as potentially reasonable for the area. However, potential buyers must account for the considerable renovation cost needed, making the overall value for money a more nuanced consideration. Therefore, while the location offers some advantages, the property’s condition requires substantial investment and negatively impacts the overall appeal and value.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
