West Midlands
The West Midlands is bursting with life, with an array of vibrant communities scattered throughout its busy cities and towns. There’s far more to this region than frontrunner Birmingham - sleepy villages surround its bustling urban settings, offering homebuyers the best of both worlds. Families can enjoy a range of amenities and attractions while working professionals can capitalise on the wealth of opportunities available throughout the region.
At the very heart of the UK, it boasts a diverse range of cultures and lifestyles for residents to experience. The region is made up of five different counties - Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, so homebuyers are certainly spoiled for choice when searching for their next home.

The West Midlands, is home to 53,000 financial businesses and professional services, the largest number outside of London.
