Solihull Property and Area Guide

Solihull is generally regarded as being a very affluent locality and regarded as one of the most prosperous towns in the Midlands. Located only 9 miles from Birmingham, Solihull is a large town and ideally located right in the middle of green belt. It is close to motorways with very easy access to Birmingham and Coventry.

However, Solihull has not always been regarded as affluent and prosperous. Historically, the area was associated with high unemployment and had a reputation of poor education. But with its recent turnaround in status businesses are beginning to invest and new schools are already being built. These positive changes have resulted in increased demand for housing and residential properties, which in turn has caused property prices to go up significantly.

Though with the effects of the global economic downturn and with the overall slowing down of the UK property market, property prices have also been adversely affected in Solihull. This is good news for property buyers wishing to invest or settle in Solihull as the slow down is not expected to last for very long and Solihull still remains a very sought after area. Property experts reckon this is the best time to purchase property in Solihull whilst the prices are still fairly cheap, and before property developers and landlords buy up all the remaining properties. Solihull has an excellent reputation and it can only get better, and North Solihull has a future well worth investing in.

It is very convenient to live in Solihull as many people commute to Birmingham for work, though there are abundant opportunities to work in this lively and historic town. Solihull is renowned for its historic architecture and has lots of timber-framed Tudor style houses and shops. Fortunately, for Solihull the historic buildings and architecture has been preserved as it survived World War II bombings which caused vast damage to nearby Coventry and Birmingham.

Solihull also has easy and convenient access to some of the best higher education institutions: with 5 universities in close proximity, an excellent college in Solihull College of Technology – conveniently situated in the town itself, and with one of the best 6th form colleges in the UK - Solihull Sixth Form College. With all these perks on offer it is not surprising that there is so much interest in property for sale in Solihull.

Whatever property you are looking for, you will find a variety of properties to suit your needs in Solihull. Predominantly, Solihull has modern housing estates which were developed in the 50s, 60’s and 70s. One of the most popular and earlier large scale developments is around Beechwood Park Road and Stonor Park Road. Chelmsley Wood is another popular estate built around 1960s and commonly known as "North Solihull". In the 1980s, the Monkspath district was constructed east of Shirley and was the UK's single largest housing development.
