Spacious Former Job Centre in Sutton Coldfield Up for Auction with £910,000+ Guide Price

A prominent and generously sized office building in the heart of Sutton Coldfield, formerly home to a Job Centre Plus, is set to attract strong interest when it goes under the hammer in Bond Wolfe’s next auction on Thursday 10 July.

Unit 1, King Edward Court, located in King Edward Square, comes with a guide price of £910,000+ and offers more than 15,500 sq ft of flexible accommodation across three storeys.

Ian Tudor, commercial auctions director at Bond Wolfe, said:

“This is a landmark building in a prime town centre location within one of the West Midlands’ most affluent suburbs.

“The property is suitable for a variety of alternative uses, including potential residential redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.”

The purpose-built 1980s office block features brick elevations, double glazing, and a pitched roof. Internally, it offers open-plan layouts, suspended ceilings, a mix of lighting styles, gas-fired central heating, and electric perimeter trunking.

The building also includes a kitchen, toilets, and is fully DDA-compliant, ensuring accessibility throughout.

Positioned on a prominent corner plot at the junction of High Street and Railway Road, the property lies within the High Street Conservation Area, just 100 metres from Sutton Coldfield train station, offering direct rail links to Birmingham New Street, Lichfield, and Bromsgrove.

Nearby are notable neighbours such as the Grade II-listed Three Tuns pub, professional offices, Sutton College, and major high street retailers including M&S Food, Aldi, TK Maxx, and The Gym Group. The location also benefits from close proximity to Sutton Park, Good Hope Hospital, and Sutton Coldfield Council offices.

“This vacant freehold property presents a significant opportunity for investors, developers or owner-occupiers,” Mr Tudor added.

“All interested parties should seek independent verification of floor areas and assess planning potential with the local authority.”

Unit 1, King Edward Court is one of 196 lots to feature in Bond Wolfe’s next live-streamed auction, which begins at 8:30am on Thursday 10 July.
