6 family homes to buy in Birmingham from £39,000

House prices in Birmingham have soared in recent months, although experts do say the marketing is slowing.

According to Rightmove properties in the city had an overall average price of £232,975 over the last year.

The majority of these sales were for terraced properties, selling for an average price of £199,233. Semi-detached properties sold for an average of £244,275, with flats fetching £148,983.

Overall, sold prices in Birmingham over the last year were 12% up on the previous year and 17% up on the 2018 peak of £198,818.

So a family home price from £39,000 is certainly cheaper than the average cost.

We’ve found this house and five others going under the hammer at Bond Wolfe’s next auction on Wednesday, 20 October.

Here are six Birmingham homes going under the hammer.

1) 45 Bednall Road, Kingstanding

Refurbishment throughout may be needed, but a guide price* of just £39,000+ for one family home in Birmingham will attract competitive bidding.

The three-bedroomed, semi-detached house property at 45 Bendall Road in Kingstanding stands back from the road with gardens front and back, with gas central heating and double glazing to most windows.

2) 142 Regent Road, Handsworth

Another family-sized home set to be popular is a three-bedroomed, mid-terraced house at 142 Regent Road in Handsworth, which has a guide price of £49,000+.

The property needs improvement works, but with a small front and back garden, gas central heating and double glazing it could be an ideal project for a new owner with DIY skills.

3) 63 Turnley Road, Shard End

Meanwhile, a three-bedroomed, mid-terraced house at 63 Turnley Road in Shard End will also catch bidders’ eyes with its attractive guide price of £50,000+.

Once again, this property needs renovations, but a driveway, gardens front and back, gas central heating and double glazing to most windows will make it another tempting lot.

Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bonde Wolfe, said: “At a time when property prices are rising, we always have many bidders who come to our auctions with a focus on finding a bargain.

“These three lots are great examples of some of the properties we have on offer that could make great family homes once they have a bit of loving care and attention invested in them.”

4) 20 Brooklands Way, Marston Green

At the other end of the market is a five-bedroomed, detached house at 20 Brooklands Way in Marston Green, with a guide price of £425,000+.

This spacious property has a driveway and gardens, with a hall and toilet, two reception rooms, a dining kitchen, utility room and further toilet downstairs.

Upstairs is a landing with airing cupboard, with two of the five bedrooms having en suite showers and toilets, plus a family bathroom.

The property benefits from two integral garages, gas central heating system, a burglar alarm and double glazing to the majority of windows.

5) 44 Lakey Lane, Hall Green

Down in Hall Green is a three-bedroomed, extended semi-detached house at 44 Lakey Lane, with a guide price of £210,000+.

This property has a driveway, front and back gardens, two reception rooms, an ‘L’-shaped kitchen and dining areas, gas central heating and double glazing.

6) 188 Farren Road, Northfield

And over in Northfield, there’s a three-bedroomed, semi-detached house at 188 Farren Road with a guide price of £130,000+.

This property has gardens front and back, two reception rooms and a useful rear utility area as well as a kitchen and understairs cupboard, with most windows double glazed.

Mr Bassi added: “Wherever people want to look in Birmingham, and at whatever price level, we’re sure to have something to suit first time buyers, families wanting to find somewhere bigger, or landlords looking to increase their portfolio.”
