In cash terms the typical B43 7 home went from £49,400 in 1995 to £255,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 137%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B43 7 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 (+26.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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.
How many homes change hands in B43 7
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 66 B43 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 168 sales a year recently, against 193 a year before 2008. 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.
What tenants pay around B43 7
The local authority for B43 7 is Walsall, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £908 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £642 a month here against £1,305 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Walsall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£908 a month is £10,896 a year, which against the £255,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the B area, 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £174,000 | £200,000 (+15%) | £210,000 (+5%) | £265,000 (+26%) | £325,000 (+23%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £155,000 (+29%) | £223,000 (+44%) | £330,000 (+48%) | £450,000 (+36%) |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
