Lozells market report B19, Birmingham
The B19 (Lozells) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 2,633 registered sales in B19 (Birmingham) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to June 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 8 registered 2026 sales put the B19 (Birmingham) median at £177,000, up 12% on five years earlier, with a mean of £175,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,990 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,633 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
The postcode district B19 covering Lozells, Newtown sits in Birmingham. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

| 1996 | £27,000 | £56,942 | 97 |
| 1995 | £28,800 | £62,607 | 82 |
In cash terms the typical B19 home went from £28,800 in 1995 to £177,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 183%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the B19 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 (+41.1% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−21.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.1% | +1.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.3% | +1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 75% of the typed total. In 2016, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £170,000 against £98,500 for a flat, 1.7 times the price.

How many homes change hands in B19
How many homes change hands
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
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 26 B19 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 126 sales a year before the financial crisis and 35 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.
Reading the B19 market
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes B19 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. In its area's price order B19 comes 69 of 76, towards the cheaper end of the table.
Rents around B19
B19 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.
£1,088 a month is £13,056 a year, which against the £177,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.4%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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. 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.
