Kevin: Possibly but...

Looking at phots of the area there are a lot of trees that could be an issue.

The aerial on the roof of Goodway House is on Sutton Coldfield, but this is probably to be epected because it is higher up. I spotted an aerial on the terrace to the south west of Goodway House on Sutton Coldfield as well.

It might be worth looking around to see what neighbours are using.

It's clear that the signal path is close to the ground for a number of miles near the your location, so there could be clutter on the ground that reduces likelihood of reception:
