In cash terms the typical B37 6 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 159%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B37 6 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 2018 (+26.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−10.6%). 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) | +3.4% | +1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.2% | +0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.7% | +2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in B37 6
The year-by-year sales count
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 35 B37 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 159 sales a year before the financial crisis and 85 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 tenants pay around B37 6
For renting purposes B37 6 sits in Solihull. The ONS average private rent there is £1,260 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £844 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,851, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Solihull
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,260 a month is £15,120 a year, which against the £225,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.7%. 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.
What kind of market B37 6 is
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes B37 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: B prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the B area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

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