| 1996 | £77,800 | £164,077 | 148 |
| 1995 | £78,700 | £171,082 | 129 |
In cash terms the typical B47 home went from £78,700 in 1995 to £373,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 118%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B47 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 (+21.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−11.0%). 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 years (since 2025) | −0.5% | −2.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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 detached houses dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £485,500 against £192,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 122 B47 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 198 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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.
How B47 trades
This is a thin market: 122 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. B47 sits 7 of 76 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
Rents around B47
B47 falls under Bromsgrove, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £979 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £708 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,585, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bromsgrove
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £373,000 median purchase price, a rent of £979 a month (£11,748 a year) works out at a 3.1% 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.

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £240,000 (+14%) | £300,000 (+25%) | £418,250 (+39%) | £535,000 (+28%) |

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