Many people choose to live in Solihull because of all the natural beauty and open spaces available to the public, and demand for houses has been going up.
Since the town is located near Birmingham - the second-most populous city in the UK, many people who work in Birmingham look for housing in Solihull.
Birmingham and Solihull are well-connected via train, roads and buses making the latter a preferred place to live for those who want to stay away from the city.
New-build homes are helpful in addressing this demand by providing more housing options to residents and those who move there.
The new-build homes don’t just help with the housing shortage but also have the latest standards in sustainability and environmental efficiency. They can have lower carbon footprint, create jobs, and a lot more.
