2 bed terraced house for sale

Bristol Road South, Rednal, Birmingham B45

Shared ownership (Advertised price represents 50% share. Full market value £220,000). This spacious two-bedroom house was built approximately thirty years ago and would now benefit from some updating. The property provides more than nine hundred square foot of accommodation arranged over three floors. There is a cloakroom/WC just off the entrance hall and a large kitchen/dining room with a door that leads out to the south/south-west-facing rear garden. The reception room is on the first floor, along with a naturally-lit storage room that could also serve as a home office. Further upstairs, on the second floor, are the two spacious bedrooms and a smart, modern shower room. Well insulated walls and roof, double glazing and gas central heating make for a good energy-efficiency rating. The property comes with two parking spaces and is also just a short walk from both Longbridge Railway Station and the impressive, recently-built Longbridge Shopping Centre.

What is shared ownership ?

Shared Ownership is a housing scheme designed to help homebuyers who are unable to afford the cost of buying a property outright on the open market. Properties may be sold off-plan or new build direct from housing associations, or pre-owned from existing shared owners. The rules and terms of the scheme are set by the Greater London Authority (gla) in London and Homes England outside of London.
