Tividale market report B69 1, Oldbury
The standing B69 1 (Tividale) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 4,842 registered sales in B69 1 (Oldbury) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 44 registered 2026 sales put the B69 1 (Oldbury) median at £231,200, up 32% on five years earlier, with a mean of £234,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,660 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,842 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
B69 1 is one sector of B69 (Oldbury): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What a square metre costs in B69 1

In cash terms the typical B69 1 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £231,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 147%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the B69 1 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 (+40.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What B69 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.1% | +2.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.7% | +0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.8% | +3.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 44 B69 1 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 234 sales a year before the financial crisis and 109 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.
Reading the B69 1 market
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes B69 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What homes rent for around B69 1
The local authority for B69 1 is Sandwell, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £940 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £672 a month here against £1,388 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Sandwell
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £231,200 median purchase price, a rent of £940 a month (£11,280 a year) works out at a 4.9% 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.

What another bedroom costs in B
Real sold prices by size across the B area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
