Redditch Property and Area Guide

Redditch can be divided into two distinct areas: a cosmopolitan district in the north-east that includes the town centre and rural area to the southwest, including Astwood Bank and Feckenham.

Recently developed areas include Washford, Moons Moat, Ravensbank, and Park Farm. Property for sale in these neighbourhoods tends to be 2 to 3 bedroom terraced and semi-detached houses, as well as 1 to 2 bedroom flats/maisonettes.

Properties within a first-time buyer’s budget can be found throughout Redditch. Walkwood, Callow Hill, Brockhill, Wirehill and Astwood Bank are considered the up-and-coming neighbourhoods. The latter three, as well as Enfield, have seen continuous growth from new-build estates.

Walkwood, Callow Hill, Ipsley, Oakenshaw South, and Winyates Green are regarded as the most affluent areas. They are populated primarily by middle to upper-middle-class families, and residents are attracted to the easy access to local schools in these areas.

“As the demand for private rented property has risen, rental prices have also increased in all areas over the past few years. Landlords have been able to hold out for asking prices due to the high demand and quick turnaround of rental properties. During the next year, rental prices are expected to see marginal increases but ultimately stabilise with more Landlords renting property or buying to let.

Tenants like the neighbourhoods of Oakenshaw South, Crabbs Cross, Headless Cross, Webheath, Walkwood, Winyates Green and Astwood Bank. These areas offer the best return for Landlords due to high demand, higher rental incomes and the calibre of tenants, as they are often in professional, higher-paid employment. Moreover, because these affluent neighbourhoods are so popular, properties can command a higher price without the need for landlords to negotiate.
