Behind the figures sit 2,171 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
B70 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside B70 (West Bromwich). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical B70 0 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 211%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the B70 0 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 2004 (+30.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−22.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What B70 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +13.6% | +11.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.3% | +1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.2% | +2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.7% | +1.8% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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.
The register shows 22 B70 0 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 94 sales a year before the financial crisis and 48 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of B70 0
B70 0 falls under Sandwell, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £250,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. 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 shape of the B70 0 market
This is a thin market: 22 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 price of an extra bedroom in B
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.
