What a square metre costs in B35

| 1995 | £41,200 | £89,562 | 60 |
In cash terms the typical B35 home went from £41,200 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 107%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 20% 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 B35 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 2007 (+36.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2006 (−21.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What B35 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.5% | −9.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 59% of the typed total. In 1998, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £76,800 against £35,000 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

How many homes change hands in B35
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 50 sales completed in B35. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 91 sales a year before the financial crisis and 63 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 B35 market
This is a thin market: 50 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. 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. Among the 76 measurable districts of its area, B35 ranks 66 by median price: towards the affordable end.
The rental side of B35
The local authority for B35 is Birmingham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£1,088 a month is £13,056 a year, which against the £185,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.1%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: B prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |
