Your Local Estate and Letting Agents in Solihull

Solihull Estate & Letting Agents

Martin & Co Solihull sells, lets and manages property from our office on Hobs Moat Road, covering Solihull, the Blythe villages and the south and east Birmingham suburbs. Sales, lettings, property management and mortgage advice all run out of the same office, so you deal with people who know what a three bedroom semi in Olton sells for and what it rents for.

We are ARLA Propertymark members with Client Money Protection in place and are covered by The Property Ombudsman redress scheme.

Selling your home in Solihull

The right asking price is the one that brings viewings in the first fortnight.

Solihull buyers watch the portals closely, and a house that sits unsold starts attracting offers below what it was worth on the day it launched. We price against what has completed nearby, not against what the neighbours are asking.

Sales, lettings and mortgages in one office changes what we can tell you.

If your buyer needs a mortgage in principle before they can proceed, our adviser can sort it. If the sale stalls and letting is the better move, we can price that on the same visit. Most agents have to hand you on to someone else.

Not every property suits a standard listing.

Land, new build sites and probate or repossession sales that need a fixed timescale can go through Land & New Homes or the auction route instead. We will tell you which one fits before you commit to a method.

Letting and managing property in Solihull

Decide how much of the work you want to keep.

Tenant find covers marketing, accompanied viewings, referencing, right to rent checks and the tenancy agreement, then hands you the keys and leaves you to it. Full management adds rent collection, inspections, maintenance, deposit handling and the compliance calendar. Landlords here often start on tenant find and move across once they buy a second property.

The compliance rules have changed, and the penalties have not got smaller.

Gas safety, EPC ratings, electrical installation reports and deposit protection all carry real consequences for getting them wrong, and the Renters’ Rights Act has reshaped how tenancies end and how rent increases work. We track the dates and tell you what is due before it becomes a problem.

Rental demand here comes from employers, not students.

The Land Rover plant on Lode Lane, Birmingham Airport, the NEC, Blythe Valley Park and Birmingham Business Park keep a steady flow of salaried tenants moving into Olton, Shirley, Acocks Green and Yardley. Corporate relocation lets are a regular part of the book, and the HS2 interchange works at Arden Cross are drawing longer term interest into the same postcodes.

Renting in Solihull

Register even when nothing on the list suits you.

Managed properties in Olton, Shirley and Hall Green often go to tenants who are already registered. Tell us the areas, the budget and the move date, and we will call you when something fits.

A managed tenancy means a named property manager.

Report a repair and it reaches the person who arranges it rather than a general enquiry inbox. Inspections are booked in advance, not sprung on you.

Mortgage advice

Settle the borrowing before you start viewing.

Our advisers search a wide panel of lenders for buyers, movers, first time buyers working out what is realistic and landlords remortgaging a buy to let. Having the mortgage in principle already in hand makes your offer stronger when two buyers want the same house.
