Sales market comment from our Solihull Branch

Rubery’s property market has seen steady price growth in recent months. Rising house prices are allowing homeowners to sell at a profit, often helping them move up the property ladder. This trend has also started to attract buyers who were previously unsure about investing in the area.

The local housing stock includes a mix of apartments, terraced homes, semi-detached and detached houses, with both period properties and modern developments available across different parts of Rubery.

Areas such as Lickey Hills, Beacon Hill, and Cofton Park are among the most desirable. They offer larger homes near green space and the local golf course, appealing to buyers looking for premium properties in a quieter setting.

Lettings market comment from our Solihull Branch

The rental market in Rubery has seen significant growth, with increasing demand pushing up rental prices across the area. A fast-moving market means most properties are let quickly, allowing landlords to secure asking price rents with minimal void periods.

Neighbourhoods such as Rubery, Rednal, Great Park, Longbridge, and Frankley are all popular with tenants. These areas feature new-build homes and low-maintenance properties, which are particularly appealing to renters looking for modern living with good transport links and local facilities.
