Letting Agents in Solihull | Let Agreed Meerhill Avenue

As the leading letting agents in Solihull we have once again performed for our Landlord. Five applicants. One property. Four disappointed families. That, in a single sentence, is the state of the rental market in Monkspath right now, and it tells landlords in Birmingham and Solihull something important: well-presented family homes are letting faster than they’re coming to market.

This three-bedroom detached home on Meerhill Avenue, Solihull is now let agreed at £1,650 per month. It won’t be the last property we let quickly in B90. But the four applicants who missed out still need a home, and that’s our immediate priority.

The Property That Let

The house ticked every box a Solihull family looks for. Lounge/diner, conservatory overlooking the rear garden, fitted kitchen, guest W/C, three good-sized bedrooms, and a family bathroom upstairs. Outside: a rear garden, side garage, and off-road parking. It sits within easy reach of Parkgate Shopping Centre, highly-regarded local schools including Monkspath Junior and Tudor Grange Academy, and the M42 at Junction 4. Widney Manor and Solihull railway stations are both accessible for commuters heading into Birmingham or further afield.

At £1,650 pcm, it was priced competitively. Three-bedroom family homes in Solihull’s most popular postcodes are consistently achieving between £1,400 and £1,800 per month, with the best-presented homes in the best locations sitting firmly in the upper half of that range. This one did.

Why Five Applicants Wanted It

Demand for family homes in Monkspath has been building for years, driven by the area’s schools, its position on the M42 corridor, and its proximity to Blythe Valley Business Park, which draws corporate tenants and professional relocators in significant numbers.

The wider data reflects what we’re seeing on the ground. Rental supply across England remains around 23% below pre-pandemic levels (Zoopla, 2025), and while competition per property has eased nationally, quality family homes in sought-after Solihull postcodes are still drawing multiple serious applicants every time. Average private rents in Solihull reached £1,259 per month in April 2026, a 1.1% annual increase, though that figure covers all property types and all price points (ONS, April 2026). For three-bedroom detached homes in locations like Monkspath, the market sits considerably higher.

Five applicants for one property is not unusual here. It is, however, a clear signal for landlords who are sitting on rental properties in B90 and the surrounding postcodes.

Four Families Still Need a Home

The four applicants who missed out on Meerhill Avenue are still actively looking. They are qualified, motivated, and ready to move. What they need is the right property.

If you’re a landlord with a family home to let in Solihull, Shirley, Dickens Heath, or the wider B90, B91 or B94 postcode areas, this is the moment. These are not speculative enquiries. These are tenants who have already gone through referencing, confirmed their budgets, and committed to a move. They simply need four more front doors to choose from.

What Landlords in Solihull Should Know Right Now

If you own a rental property in the area and it’s currently void, underlet, or sitting with an agent who isn’t generating this level of demand, it’s worth asking why.

A few things that make the difference in this market:

• Presentation matters more than ever. Tenants viewing multiple properties in a single afternoon will always favour the one that looks genuinely well-maintained and move-in ready.
• Pricing needs to reflect the current market, not last year’s. Overpriced properties still sit. Correctly priced properties in good condition let within days.
• Speed of referencing and communication is critical. When five applicants are competing, the ones who feel they’re being kept informed stay engaged. Those left waiting withdraw and move on.
• The right agent makes the difference. Generating five serious applicants for a single property doesn’t happen by accident. It requires a database of active, qualified tenants and a process that converts enquiries into completed lets.

Solihull remains one of the strongest rental markets in the West Midlands. Average house prices in the borough reached £330,000 in March 2026 (ONS, March 2026), keeping homeownership out of reach for many families and sustaining strong rental demand across all price points. That’s not changing any time soon.
