Description
This two-bedroom terraced house in Selly Oak is described as requiring substantial refurbishment. The existing accommodation includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a rear garden, with scope to modernise and consider changes to the layout. Any increase in occupancy or use as a larger HMO would depend on planning, licensing and other required consents.
The property is offered as an unlicensed development opportunity, with no confirmed rental income. It is close to the University of Birmingham, Selly Oak station and the shops and services along Bristol Road. Buyers should verify the seller’s material information and assess the property and any proposed use independently.

Confidence: MEDIUM
This two-bedroom terrace has a useful two-reception layout and a rear garden, in a strong Selly Oak location close to the university, station and local amenities. The photographed interiors offer a clear renovation canvas: worn carpets and marked walls need attention, while the dated kitchen and visibly stained bathroom provide scope for a more comprehensive update. The brickwork appears broadly intact in the available exterior views, and the garden could be tidied and improved.
The main constraint is the price: at £275,000, the asking figure is around 20% above the local average per square foot. With a substantial programme of works on top, the purchase-and-works economics look stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this size; that comparison is with current local values, not a forecast of what a renovated property might sell for. The location and existing layout give the project appeal, but the numbers make this a low-opportunity proposition at the current asking price.
Key opportunities
- Rework and modernise the existing two-bedroom, two-reception layout, with any change to occupancy or HMO use subject to the necessary consents.
- Create a more contemporary interior through a coordinated update to the kitchen, bathroom, wall finishes and worn flooring.
- Improve the narrow paved rear garden with a practical tidy-up and planting at the edges.
Key risks
- The marked walls, worn carpets and dated fittings across several photographed areas point to a substantial multi-room programme; allow for a full interior overhaul rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- At this asking price, adding substantial works leaves the purchase economics stretched against local benchmarks for a property of this floor area.
- All-in costs look stretched once the asking price and a mid-to-substantial refurb are combined, leaving a gap of around 29% versus area norms for this sqft; post-works value sits outside our data.
