Bournville market report B30, Birmingham
The B30 (Bournville) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 15,229 HM Land Registry entries for B30 (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.
Covers registered sales to August 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: 182 registered 2026 sales put the B30 (Birmingham) median at £276,200, up 17% on five years earlier, with a mean of £303,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,170 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 15,229 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
The postcode district B30 covering Bournville, Cotteridge, Stirchley 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.

What a home in B30 sells for
The B30 median stands at £276,200 for 2026, built from 182 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £303,600, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
B30 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of B30 sales average about £3,170 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.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts B30 3% below the country at large.

| 1995 | £46,500 | £101,084 | 415 |
In cash terms the typical B30 home went from £46,500 in 1995 to £276,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 173%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 9% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B30 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 (+22.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.0%). 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 year (since 2025) | +0.4% | −1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.1% | −1.3% |
| 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 50% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £490,000 against £144,800 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 306 sales completed in B30. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 657 sales a year before the financial crisis and 334 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.
Rents around B30
B30 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 £276,200 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.

B30's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in B30 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 2 homes on the market right now, from 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 49% below the B30 median sold price.
50% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
When homes in B30 change hands
March is when B30 changes hands most (10.1% of the 1,942 sales dated 2021 to 2025); May is the quiet end at 6.6%. The spread between the busiest and quietest months is small, so timing matters less here than in most markets; price and presentation decide more than the calendar.

Bedroom by bedroom: B prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the B area, straight 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 | £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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
