The Solihull Property Market – September 2026

As we head towards the final few months of 2026, the property market across Solihull and Shirley remains active, with good-quality homes continuing to attract attention from buyers.

At Black & Golds, we’re seeing buyers who are serious about making a move, particularly those hoping to be settled into their new home before Christmas or early in the New Year.

Selling Your House in Shirley?

If you’re thinking about selling your house in Shirley, this can be a great time to test the market.

September and October traditionally bring a renewed level of activity after the summer holidays. Schools are back, routines return to normal and buyers who may have put their plans on hold during the summer start searching again.

Presentation and pricing remain extremely important. Buyers have plenty of information available to them online, so launching a property at the right price and with strong photography, video and marketing can make a significant difference.

Choosing an Estate Agent in Shirley

When choosing an estate agent in Shirley, it’s worth looking beyond simply who suggests the highest asking price.

A good local agent should understand the different roads, developments and pockets of Shirley and Solihull, as well as what buyers are currently looking for.

At Black & Golds, our approach is straightforward: honest advice, strong marketing and good communication throughout the process.

As a local Solihull estate agent, we cover Shirley and the surrounding areas and work with homeowners across a wide range of properties, from first-time-buyer homes through to larger family properties.

What About the Rental Market?

Demand also remains strong for good-quality rental homes. If you’re a landlord looking for a letting agent in Shirley, having an experienced local team managing the marketing, tenant enquiries and ongoing management can make the process considerably easier.

Whether you’re selling, buying, letting or simply wondering what your property might be worth, our team at Black & Golds is always happy to have an informal conversation about the local market.
