Moving to Solihull? Hereโ€™s Why Itโ€™s the Leafy Side of Life

Welcome to Solihull โ€” land of luxury shopping, leafy suburbs, and more Range Rovers than you can shake a Waitrose bag at. With a population of around 216,000, Solihull mixes village charm with city convenience, and locals greet you with a smile that says โ€œyes, we do have better schools.โ€

Schools That Actually Impress

Solihull is spoiled for choice with Arden Academy, Tudor Grange Academy, and Solihull School โ€” all rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Translation: your kids will get a topโ€‘tier education and probably know how to play three instruments before theyโ€™ve finished their GCSEs.

Economy With Style

Home to Jaguar Land Rover HQ, Birmingham Airport, and the Touchwood Shopping Centre, Solihullโ€™s economy is as polished as its lawns. Add in a thriving service sector and new developments springing up faster than coffee shops, and youโ€™ve got a town thatโ€™s comfortably in the fast lane.

Things to Do (Besides Polishing the Driveway)

  • Touchwood Shopping Centre โ€“ retail therapy with designer flair.

  • Malvern & Brueton Park โ€“ green space for walks, picnics, and pretending youโ€™re in the Cotswolds.

  • Local gems โ€“ The Malt Shovel for gastroโ€‘pub dining, The Core Theatre for culture, and the NEC (yes, itโ€™s technically Solihull, like Birmingham airport!)

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we canโ€™t stop surveyors charging ยฃ1,500 to photograph a slightly crooked conservatory, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

  • Full packing services

  • Secure, insured storage (perfect if your chain moves slower than the M42 on a Friday)

  • Local, national, European & overseas moves (because sometimes Solihull is just the warmโ€‘up act before Sydney)
