| 1995 | £34,500 | £74,998 | 176 |
In cash terms the typical B10 home went from £34,500 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 153%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the B10 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+38.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−6.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What B10 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.0% | −7.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 80% of the typed total. In 2008, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £250,000 against £70,000 for a flat, 3.6 times the price.

How many homes change hands in B10
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in B10. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 287 sales a year before the financial crisis and 71 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market B10 is
This is a thin market: 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Among the 76 measurable districts of its area, B10 ranks 61 by median price: towards the affordable end.
Rents around B10
For renting purposes B10 sits in Birmingham. The ONS average private rent there is £1,088 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £821 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,563, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Birmingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £190,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,088 a month (£13,056 a year) works out at a 6.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

The price of an extra bedroom in B
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the B area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
