Bournville market report B30 1, Birmingham
The B30 1 (Bournville) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,180 sales registered with HM Land Registry in B30 1 (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 recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for B30 1 (Birmingham) is £340,000, from 43 registered sales, up 6% on five years earlier; the mean is £374,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,430 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 4,180 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
B30 1 is one sector of B30 (Birmingham): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

House prices per square metre in B30 1
Measured by floor area, the last five years of B30 1 sales average about £3,430 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

In cash terms the typical B30 1 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 161%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B30 1 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 2000 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−7.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.6% | −9.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in B30 1
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, 43 sales completed in B30 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 169 sales a year before the financial crisis and 88 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market B30 1 is
This is a thin market: 43 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. Against the B30 district median, B30 1 sits 24% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around B30 1
For renting purposes B30 1 sits in Birmingham. The ONS average private rent there is £1,088 a month (May 2026). 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.
£1,088 a month is £13,056 a year, which against the £340,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 6% over five years in cash but down 16% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
B30's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 171 homes at the moment, listed by 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole B30 district, not just B30 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 37% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

- Milner Road, Birmingham, West Midlands, B29
- Warwards Lane, Birmingham, West Midlands, B29
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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 | — | £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%) |
