I think this is noteworthy and worth further examination. Here’s why? This property is now on sale by two agents, Bairstow eves (01922 312 791) and Redstones (01922 321 052). Now, I don’t know if that means anything to you, but to me, that is a sign that the seller is a bit desperate to sell and asap. The thought process being that if they put it with as many agents as possible, then surely it must get the widest possible exposure. I understand that way of thinking and it makes sense…However, it made sense when Dinosaurs roamed the earth and I consider it to be outdated thinking. In this day and age when we have so much information delivered to us as efficiently and as swiftly than ever before, everything is just a mouse click away. In property, there are literally only two sites that matter and they are Rightmove and Zoopla. If your property is listed on both then you already have the widest possible exposure, engaging another agent isn’t adding anything else to the mix. So, back to my original point. This one deserves your attention because the seller is likely to take a reduce price and you will get a bargain! Get your skates on, it won’t be there forever, contact the agent…Oops…agents…errr…see how confusing it is? Just pick one and make an appointment to view!

When I was looking for a buy-to-let deal I came across this one and I almost didn’t click on the link because I think you will agree, it doesn’t look much from the outside? However, take a look on the inside and you will see how “Stonkingly” good the spec on this one is. Wow!  Not even billed as an investment opportunity by the agent, however the spec clearly makes a statement that it is! I would urge a viewing immediately on this one as you don’t get to see many properties of this calibre for the price. A little over the average for a terraced house in this area, but as long as everything else stacks up, it will be worth every penny. The only downside that I can see is that it is only partial double glazing, so it would be wise to take a look and see which windows need the upgrade. Parking facilities are also not mentioned. There are a large selection of schools locally and many are within a mile distance including the Stuart Bathurst High School College Of Performing Arts and the Wood Green academy. Healthcare amenities eg doctors, dentists etc are also nearby. Transport services are very good with bus routes and major road networks adjacent lending easy access to Walsall, Wednesbury, West Bromwich and Walsall centres. Junction 9 of the M6 is literally about a mile down the road and adjacent to it is the Axeltree Way Retail Park for a bit of retail therapy.

A three bedroom end terraced house in the Coalpool area of Walsall, WS3. Billed as an investment property, however, there is only one photo showing the external front. The listing states that the ground floor bathroom has been refitted. I would advise a viewing as soon as possible to check out the property internally, after all, that’s what viewings are for, right? On the face of it the current asking price seems like a bit of a bargain being at least £5000 lower than the usual asking price for a property of this type in the area. So, it makes me ask the question, “What’s wrong with it?” Maybe nothing, but the low price and the lack of photos tends me to lean toward that it may need some upgrading. There are many schools locally and many are within a mile distance including the Elmwood School and The Croft Academy. Healthcare amenities eg doctors, dentists etc are also nearby. Transport services are very good with bus routes and major road networks adjacent lending easy access to Walsall, Bloxwich, Pelsall and Brownhills town centres. There is double glazing, gas central heating.

A one bedroom semi detached house on a prestigious and popular estate in the Coalpool area in Walsall. Since major redevelopment in the area, the area’s profile has now been raised substantially making it a popular choice for rental. Unfortunately, though the property is billed as “well presented”, the agent has only provide one photo of the external. Therefore, I have absolutely no idea if the property is of a lettable standard. I would urge a viewing on this one A-S-A-P. My personal experience with this estate is that rentals go like “Hot Cakes”! The location benefits from being within easy reach of all the major road networks, services and other amenities lending easy access to Walsall, Bloxwich, Pelsall, Willenhall town centres.

A two bedroom end terraced house in the heart of the Beechdale estate in Walsall. The area is now an up and coming area due to some major redevelopment over the last decade, which has helped in raising the area’s profile. Look at the flares on this! Unfortunately, the property is perpetually stuck in the 70s so the décor really needs to be changed including ripping out that very sexy fireplace! Other additional upgrades would include the flooring and modernising the kitchen and bathroom.  The rear garden is also in need of attention. The location benefits from being within easy reach of the Reedswood Retail Park and junction 10 of the M6 and in the vicinity of other major transport routes leading to Walsall, Willenhall and Bloxwich town centres. There is also a wide selection of schools within a mile or so radius including the Mirus Academy.

A three bedroom semi detached house the Wednesbury area of Walsall, WS10. Surprisingly, the listing doesn’t state that the property requires modernisation, when it clearly does! Additionally, there are no photos of the bedrooms and the bathroom, so a viewing is absolutely essential. “Wiggle room” is the key phrase here and the seller may be flexible on the price since upgrading is an absolute necessity. Within a mile there are a good selection of education facilities including The Stuart Bathurst School of Performing Arts and The Wood Green Academy. There are also many healthcare, food stores and leisure facilities available nearby. Transport services are very good with bus routes and major road networks adjacent lending easy access to Walsall, Darlaston, Wednesbury, Willenhall and Wolverhampton town centres. There is double glazing, gas central heating, but as to whether this is full or partial is unclear. However, there is off-road parking.

A three bedroom terraced house in the Rushall area of Walsall, WS4. Billed as in need of modernisation and by the look of the available photos, they’re not wrong.

A two bedroom terraced house in the Bloxwich area of Walsall, WS3. Billed as a suitable buy-to -let, however the agent has failed to provide any internal photos. The description states that it is well presented and well maintained. One can only assume that the spec is of a sufficient standard, but as I always say, ‘That’s what viewings are for’!. The asking price is average for this type of property in this area. The location is ideal for local schools and many are within a half mile distance including the Walsall Academy.
