In cash terms the typical B15 3 home went from £68,200 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 187%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2014; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2014 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B15 3 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 2014 (+78.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−35.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What B15 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.1% | −9.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.7% | +0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
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.
Sales activity in B15 3
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 25 sales completed in B15 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 110 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 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.
The shape of the B15 3 market
This is a thin market: 25 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within B15, this sector trades 62% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around B15 3
B15 3 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.
Set against the £425,000 median sold price, £1,088 a month is £13,056 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in B: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the B area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
