In cash terms the typical B15 home went from £68,800 in 1995 to £255,000 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 70%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B15 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 2001 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−22.2%). 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, 63% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £597,500 against £195,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

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.
How many homes change hands in B15
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 98 B15 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 274 sales a year before the financial crisis and 146 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 homes rent for around B15
The local authority for B15 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 £255,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,088 a month (£13,056 a year) works out at a 5.1% 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.
Reading the B15 market
Only 98 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes B15 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 9% over five years in cash but down 28% after inflation.

The B15 sales calendar
Take the 1,052 B15 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: June completions lead with 16.6% of the total, May trails with 5.6%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

| January | 61 | 5.8% |
| February | 63 | 6.0% |

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £270,000 | £297,500 (+10%) | £360,000 (+21%) | £469,794 (+30%) | £650,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £230,000 (+10%) | £265,000 (+15%) | £335,000 (+26%) | £435,000 (+30%) |
| Terraced | £174,000 | £200,000 (+15%) | £210,000 (+5%) | £265,000 (+26%) | £325,000 (+23%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £155,000 (+29%) | £223,000 (+44%) | £330,000 (+48%) | £450,000 (+36%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
