Selly Oak Homes: What We Find on the Door
Selly Oak is dominated by student lets and Victorian terraces, with family homes further out:
- Student houses in Bournbrook and around the university — HMOs with a communal front door and lockable bedroom doors. Landlords call us every summer for lock changes between tenancies, and tenants call us when keys go missing after a night out.
- Victorian terraces off the Bristol Road — front doors opening onto the street, often with basic Euro cylinders that are worth upgrading to 3-star anti-snap.
- Selly Park — larger period and inter-war homes with timber doors and mortice locks, where BS3621 replacements are the usual job.
- Weoley Castle — inter-war and post-war homes with ageing uPVC doors, worn gearboxes and dropped hinges.
