In cash terms the typical B73 home went from £69,500 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 132%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B73 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 2000 (+22.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−11.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.4% | −3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.1% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £558,500 against £170,000 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 287 sales completed in B73. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 532 sales a year before the financial crisis and 280 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.
What tenants pay around B73
B73 falls under Birmingham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,088 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £821 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,563 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £350,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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 price of an extra bedroom in B
What homes of each size actually sold for across the B area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £240,000 (+14%) | £300,000 (+25%) | £418,250 (+39%) | £535,000 (+28%) |

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.
