| 1996 | £30,000 | £63,269 | 172 |
| 1995 | £33,000 | £71,737 | 165 |
In cash terms the typical B6 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £167,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 133%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B6 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 2002 (+37.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−17.1%). 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) | +4.0% | +1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.4% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.3% | +1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 83% of the typed total. In 2002, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £125,000 against £31,500 for a flat, 4.0 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 32 B6 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 197 sales a year before the financial crisis and 47 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 B6 market
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes B6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Among the 76 measurable districts of its area, B6 ranks 74 by median price: towards the affordable end.
What tenants pay around B6
For renting purposes B6 sits in Birmingham. The ONS average private rent there is £1,088 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £821 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,563, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £167,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.8%. 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 another bedroom costs in B
What homes of each size actually sold for across the B area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
