The typical property in B93

B93 sits in Solihull MBC and covers Dorridge, Knowle, parts of Bentley Heath and surrounding rural Warwickshire fringe. Knowle has a designated conservation area centred on the historic High Street and the Grade I-listed parish church of St John, St Lawrence and St Anne. Dorridge is a Victorian and Edwardian railway suburb that grew with the line to London. Housing is mixed: large detached Victorian and Edwardian villas along Forest Road and Station Road, interwar detached estates, and significant newer development from the 1980s onwards.

Dorridge station sits on the Chiltern line and provides services to London Marylebone in around 100 minutes off-peak and to Birmingham Moor Street in around 17 minutes. The A4141 Warwick Road runs through Knowle. Employment patterns are commuter into central Birmingham, Solihull and London.

Schools are Solihull MBC maintained provision, with Arden Academy in Knowle as a major comprehensive. Demographics skew older and more affluent than the West Midlands average, with high owner-occupation rates.

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 the larger Victorian and Edwardian detached stock with solid walls.
