In cash terms the typical B11 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 136%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B11 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 2003 (+36.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What B11 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.6% | −4.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 78% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £300,000 against £140,500 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

Sales activity in B11
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 155 sales completed in B11. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 595 sales a year before the financial crisis and 174 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.
How B11 trades
Among the 76 measurable districts of its area, B11 ranks 63 by median price: towards the affordable end.
What homes rent for around B11
B11 falls under Birmingham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,088 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £821 a month here against £1,563 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Birmingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £185,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,088 a month (£13,056 a year) works out at a 7.1% 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
Real sold prices by size across the B area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
