Solihull - the perfect balance of city and country

Expert property surveys, accurate valuations, and independent advice across Solihull.

Vibrant, green, connected and thriving

Situated on the River Blythe in the Forest of Arden, Solihull has its own unique character. Noted for its historic architecture, this town features surviving examples of Tudor-style, timber-framed houses and shops which add even more to its charm. We particularly appreciate how its rich heritage blends effortlessly with its more contemporary buildings.  

A highly sought-after area with excellent schools and superb choice of property,  Solihull is ranked as one of the most desirable places to live in the UK. What's more, it also boasts an easy commute as one of the best-connected towns in the region. 

 Along with all the shopping, culture and history you could want, its 150 acres of natural open spaces, parks, and green belt land blend with attractive leafy suburbs making Solihull a lovely place to live.

Nearby there’s the beautiful village of Knowle, home to retirees and young professionals with families who prefer the quiet life, and the equally picturesque village of Dorridge is a rural gem. Thought to date back to settlements of the Bronze Age, Dorridge is known for its rural walks and footpaths running to the pretty Blythe Valley nature reserve.

From suburbs to rural life, Solihull conveniently offers the best of everything, and it’s a pleasure to offer our full range of property survey and valuation services in this wonderful town.

★★★★★

“Richard provided a Help to Buy valuation for our house so that we could sell and repay our Help to Buy loan. We arranged the valuation on a Monday, visited the property on the Friday morning and we had the valuation emailed to us by that afternoon. Richard was quick to respond to requests and queries, and conducted the valuation at the properly efficiently and professionally, taking time to answer any questions we had. The cost was good value compared to other surveyors that had quoted.

I shall be back for a homebuyer report when I have selected my next property.”

“Fantastic surveyor; I had almost lost faith in house surveys until I was directed to Richard. The whole process was clear, hassle-free and thorough; Richard was very generous with his time in explaining his findings and how that impacted on the property value and its longevity. Being very well informed by an expert is essential in the high stakes of today's property market, and it is undeniable that a decent surveyor is the vital keystone to a successful purchase. Thanks, Richard.”
