In a city with a bustling property market, where new homes are being built every day, some houses seem immune to the buzz. That’s because these Birmingham properties have been languishing on the market for years, unable to attract the right buyer.
Whether it’s their unique features, location, or simply bad luck, these homes have been left on the shelf. The majority of homes on the list are flats in apartment blocks across the city – including many popular developments.
However, there are also some terraced properties which, for one reason or another, just won’t sell. Here are seven listed properties on Rightmove which sellers just can’t shift.
