Bournville market report B30 2, Birmingham
The standing B30 2 (Bournville) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. The raw material for this page is 6,518 HM Land Registry entries for B30 2 (Birmingham), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
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 2 (Birmingham) is £275,000, from 59 registered sales, up 16% on five years earlier; the mean is £291,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,320 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 6,518 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
B30 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside B30 (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.

B30 2 prices by floor area

| 1996 | £43,000 | £90,685 | 234 |
| 1995 | £44,200 | £96,084 | 202 |
In cash terms the typical B30 2 home went from £44,200 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 186%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B30 2 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 2004 (+24.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−5.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.2% | −2.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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 2
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 59 B30 2 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 278 sales a year before the financial crisis and 139 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 B30 2 market
Only 59 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes B30 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What homes rent for around B30 2
B30 2 falls under Birmingham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,088 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £821 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,563 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Birmingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £275,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,088 a month (£13,056 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: B prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the B area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| 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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
