Our office is situated in a prominent double fronted corner building on the busy High Street (A435) in Kings Heath, opposite Station Road, and near Kings Heath Library and the Police Station. From this office we market residential properties for sale and to let, and undertake property management throughout South Birmingham, especially in Kings Heath B14 & B13, Moseley B13, Hall Green B28, Stirchley B30, Billesley B13, Warstock B14, Maypole B14, Selly Park B29, Selly Oak B29 & B30, Cotteridge B30, Bournville B30 and Kings Norton B30 & B38.

All members of the team are experienced in both sales and lettings, and we can therefore give advice in the round without being limited to one particular aspect of estate agency. Our aim is to give a personal, professional, and top quality estate agency service to our clients and customers.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
