In cash terms the typical B43 6 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £316,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 185%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 9% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B43 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 1996 (+29.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−17.8%). 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 years (since 2025) | +9.0% | +6.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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 register shows 26 B43 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 142 sales a year before the financial crisis and 69 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 B43 6
B43 6 falls under Sandwell, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £940 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £672 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,388 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Sandwell
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £316,200 median sold price, £940 a month is £11,280 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How B43 6 trades
This is a thin market: 26 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. Within B43, this sector trades 21% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Moving up a bedroom in B: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the B area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
