Development details: The Ridgeway development is located in Pype Hayes, north of the Erdington area of Birmingham, around 5.5 miles from the city centre. ‘Pype Hayes’ derives from a major land owner in Erdington called Henry de Pipe who built a house in the area, later developed into Pype Hayes Hall. Ridgeway will feature a range of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes. The properties are yet to be placed in a council tax band so the following are approximations and are subject to change.
Band A £840.63, Band B £980.74, Band C £1,120.84, Band D £1,260.95.
