Moving to Solihull? Here’s Why It’s the Leafy Side of Life
Welcome to Solihull — 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 “yes, we do have better schools.”
Schools That Actually Impress
Solihull is spoiled for choice with Arden Academy, Tudor Grange Academy, and Solihull School — all rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Translation: your kids will get a top‑tier education and probably know how to play three instruments before they’ve finished their GCSEs.
Economy With Style
Home to Jaguar Land Rover HQ, Birmingham Airport, and the Touchwood Shopping Centre, Solihull’s economy is as polished as its lawns. Add in a thriving service sector and new developments springing up faster than coffee shops, and you’ve got a town that’s comfortably in the fast lane.
Things to Do (Besides Polishing the Driveway)
Touchwood Shopping Centre – retail therapy with designer flair.
Malvern & Brueton Park – green space for walks, picnics, and pretending you’re in the Cotswolds.
Local gems – The Malt Shovel for gastro‑pub dining, The Core Theatre for culture, and the NEC (yes, it’s technically Solihull, like Birmingham airport!)
Moving Services That Keep It Simple
At M&G, we can’t stop surveyors charging £1,500 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 warm‑up act before Sydney)
