In cash terms the typical B64 6 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £197,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 175%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 5% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the B64 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 2003 (+50.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−13.7%). 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) | +6.5% | +4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.0% | +0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.7% | +2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
B64 6 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 149 sales a year before the financial crisis and 66 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.
The shape of the B64 6 market
This is a thin market: 27 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What homes rent for around B64 6
The local authority for B64 6 is Sandwell, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£940 a month is £11,280 a year, which against the £197,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.7%. 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.

The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the B area. 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.

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.
