Why buy a home in Sutton Coldfield?
Sutton Coldfield is an affluent town in the West Midlands, 7 miles from Birmingham City Centre. It has a long history going back to Bronze Age times and a preserved section of Icknield Street, a Roman Road, passes through Sutton Park.
It grew in the 16th century, when its waters and pools were exploited for milling purposes and it was a hive of activity for industry going into the 17th century in producing military weapons. Industry continued to prosper there into the 18th century, making the occupants richer and many prominent buildings still standing today were built during this period.
The railway arrived in 1862 and the town gradually became a popular destination for day trippers and picnickers taking time out from Birmingham's pollution. It equally became a commuter dormitory for the same conurbation.
Housing expanded greatly in the earlier part of the 20th century and during the Second World War, there were prisoner-of-war camps sited in Sutton Park and areas of Walmley.
Sutton Park is one of the largest urban parks in England and a national nature reserve as well as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Many of its manors and large houses have been converted into hotels, including Moxhull Hall Hotel and Ramada hotel. Peddimore Hall, a Scheduled Ancient Monument near Walmley, is a double moated hall used as a private residence.
The town's Holy Trinity Church was established around 1300.

Property Conveyancer near me
When you search for conveyancing solicitors near me you may well wonder about the title of the legal professional you're looking to hire. Would property solicitors near me be more appropriate? How about just 'conveyancer near me'?Day-to-day, the vast majority of legal tasks required for a house move are carried out by several different people termed 'paralegals' and/or 'property conveyancers'. These terms refer to the fact that these professionals do not have formal membership - and qualifications - required to be either a solicitor, licensed conveyancer or legal executive.
Many of these individuals have many years of experience and keep your costs down by skilfully completing work at a lower rate than the solicitor who oversees the case, takes ultimate responsibility and signs-off the work.
Licensed conveyancers receive their accreditation from the Council for Licensed Conveyancers. They are quite distinct from conveyancers/paralegals in that they are officially qualified. You can think of them overall as people who act as qualified solicitors but purely in the conveyancing arena.
In contrast, a qualified solicitor acting in the conveyancing field has the general training that a solicitor has - e.g. in employment law - but has chosen to specialise in conveyancing. They have to be a member of the Law Society in order to practise.

As soon as your offer is accepted, you can submit your application. An independent broker can help speed this along.4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.5. Get your building insurance ready

Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.

When should you organise your buildings insurance?
If you're buying a leasehold property, the buildings insurance is normally organised by the freeholder for the whole block, however you'll need to book your own buildings insurance if you're buying a freehold property.
In the eyes of the law, you become responsible for the structure of a freehold building you're looking to buy from the point of exchange of contracts, so you should ensure that you've purchased your buildings insurance to coincide with this.
