Erdington market report B23 6, Birmingham

The standing B23 6 (Erdington) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,801 sales registered with HM Land Registry in B23 6 (Birmingham) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: the 2026 median for B23 6 (Birmingham) is £190,000, from 47 registered sales, up 16% on five years earlier; the mean is £182,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,180 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 5,801 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

B23 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside B23 (Birmingham). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What buyers actually paid in B23 6

In the B23 6 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £190,000, from 47 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £182,700, sitting practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.

B23 6 prices by floor area

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in B23 6 costs about £2,180 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, B23 6 runs 33% below it.

In cash terms the typical B23 6 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 119%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+30.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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.

Transaction volumes

The register shows 47 B23 6 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 314 sales a year before the financial crisis and 108 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 homes rent for around B23 6

B23 6 falls under Birmingham, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.

Set against the £190,000 median sold price, £1,088 a month is £13,056 a year, a gross yield of 6.9%: 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.

How B23 6 trades

This is a thin market: 47 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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
