Area summary
B91 covers central Solihull town centre and the surrounding high-value residential streets. Solihull MBC is a separate council from Birmingham, with notably higher property values than most West Midlands postcodes. Housing is mixed: large 1930s and 1950s detached villas along Warwick Road, Ladbrook Road and Lugtrout Lane, Victorian villas in the older Solihull core, postwar apartment buildings and newer mansion blocks.
Solihull station sits in the outcode and provides Chiltern services to London Marylebone in around 90 minutes and West Midlands Trains services to Birmingham Moor Street in around 12 minutes. The Touchwood shopping centre opened in 2001 and is the major retail anchor. Solihull town centre has the Mell Square and the Council House.
Employment patterns are commuter into central Birmingham and into Solihull's own substantial professional services base. Major employers in the wider Solihull area include Jaguar Land Rover, Capita and HSBC. The town has high owner-occupation rates and a meaningful share of older retired residents.
Schools are Solihull MBC maintained provision, with Tudor Grange Academy and Solihull School (independent) as notable options. Solihull MBC does not operate the citywide additional HMO licensing scheme that Birmingham does. The Renters' Rights Act 2026 has abolished Section 21 evictions. The proposed 2030 EPC C standard, if enacted, will be a substantial cost on larger detached interwar properties.
