Tividale market report B69 4, Oldbury

The standing B69 4 (Tividale) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 2,421 sales registered with HM Land Registry in B69 4 (Oldbury) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: 12 registered 2026 sales put the B69 4 (Oldbury) median at £187,500, up 16% on five years earlier, with a mean of £199,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,360 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,421 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

B69 4 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.

Today's B69 4 prices, from the sold record

In the B69 4 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £187,500, from 12 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £199,200, sitting somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

Price per square metre in B69 4

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in B69 4 costs about £2,360 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts B69 4 34% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical B69 4 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £187,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 121%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+48.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−18.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

What B69 4 has returned, per year

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.

Sales activity in B69 4

B69 4 recorded 12 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 129 sales a year before the financial crisis and 49 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.

What homes rent for around B69 4

For renting purposes B69 4 sits in Sandwell. The ONS average private rent there is £940 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £672 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,388, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

£940 a month is £11,280 a year, which against the £187,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.0%. 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.

How B69 4 trades

This is a thin market: 12 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. Against the B69 district median, B69 4 sits 18% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
