If you’ve been typing questions into Google like “Which letting agents cover Dickens Heath?”, “What’s the rental value of my apartment near Main Street?” or “Can I switch agents easily?” — this guide is exactly what you need.

Let’s walk through everything landlords and tenants want to know about renting, living and investing in Dickens Heath — one of Solihull’s most talked-about modern villages.


💬 “What makes Dickens Heath such a desirable place to live?”

Dickens Heath has become a mini-destination in its own right. With its riverside walks, cafés spilling out onto the square and a real sense of community, it offers the kind of lifestyle you’d expect to find in a much larger town.

Everything is on the doorstep — from bars, restaurants, gyms and salons to scenic canal-side apartments and townhouses. It’s popular with professionals working in Solihull, Birmingham, and JLR, as well as families drawn to its well-kept environment and excellent transport links via Whitlocks End station and the M42.


💬 “What are rental prices like in Dickens Heath?”

Rental demand in Dickens Heath remains consistently high thanks to its blend of style and convenience.

Typical monthly rents are:

  • 🏠 1-bed apartments: £950 – £1,150

  • 🏡 2-bed apartments: £1,100 – £1,400

  • 🏘️ 3-bed homes or townhouses: £1,600 – £2,200

  • 🏛️ High-end penthouses or detached houses: £2,500 – £3,000+

Properties on Rumbush Lane, Waterside, and Main Street tend to attract the strongest demand and best yields.

💬 “What should I look for in a letting agent?”

The best letting agents in Dickens Heath are the ones who know the area — not just the postcodes. You want an agent who:

  • Responds quickly to calls and emails

  • Understands local rental trends and tenant profiles

  • Handles maintenance efficiently

  • Keeps you legally compliant with current regulations

  • Treats your property like it’s their own

That’s where Partridge Homes stands out. We’re a family-run, multi-award-winning team with more than two decades of experience letting and managing homes across Solihull, Shirley, and Dickens Heath.

You’ll always deal with a named person — no call centres, no ticket systems, just straightforward, honest communication.


💬 “My current letting agent feels impersonal. Can I switch?”

Absolutely. Many landlords assume changing agents is complicated — it isn’t.

Our Simply Switch process makes it effortless:

  1. Tell your current agent you’d like to end their management.

  2. We’ll collect the paperwork, deposits, and tenant details for you.

  3. We take over seamlessly — no break in rent, no stress.

It’s the simplest way to regain control of your investment while your tenants remain completely undisturbed.


💬 “Is Dickens Heath a good spot for buy-to-let investment?”

Yes — and it’s getting better year on year. Dickens Heath attracts professional tenants who want quality homes in a lifestyle-led setting.

Yields are strong, void periods are short, and properties tend to hold their value. Many landlords who started with one apartment here have since expanded their portfolio because the results speak for themselves.


💬 “What are the best restaurants and bars in Dickens Heath?”

The village has a fantastic social scene, ideal for tenants who want everything close by. Local favourites include:

  • 🍽️ Mortons Kitchen, Bar & Deli — the go-to for weekend brunch or cocktails.

  • 🍝 Little Italy — authentic and friendly, perfect for date nights.

  • 🍕 Portofino — lively and family-friendly with great pizza.

  • Giovanni’s Coffee Shop — a local meeting spot with excellent coffee.

  • 🍷 The Lounge — relaxed, stylish, and ideal for after-work drinks.

Add in gyms, salons, and boutique shops, and it’s easy to see why tenants love the lifestyle Dickens Heath offers.
