| 1996 | £45,000 | £94,903 | 167 |
| 1995 | £43,000 | £93,475 | 127 |
In cash terms the typical B14 4 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 135%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B14 4 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 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−10.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.4% | −8.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 56 B14 4 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 219 sales a year before the financial crisis and 128 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What tenants pay around B14 4
The local authority for B14 4 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 £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,088 a month (£13,056 a year) works out at a 5.9% 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.
What kind of market B14 4 is
Only 56 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes B14 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within B14, this sector trades 12% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in B: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the B area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £240,000 (+14%) | £300,000 (+25%) | £418,250 (+39%) | £535,000 (+28%) |

| Flat | £130,000 | £179,500 (+38%) | £299,000 (+67%) | £500,000 (+67%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
