In cash terms the typical B13 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £269,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 138%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the B13 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 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−8.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £592,500 against £150,000 for a flat, 4.0 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.2% | +1.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 264 B13 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 680 sales a year before the financial crisis and 314 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 tenants pay around B13
The local authority for B13 is Birmingham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,088 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £269,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,088 a month (£13,056 a year) works out at a 4.9% 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 Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the B area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
