In cash terms the typical B74 2 home went from £95,500 in 1995 to £368,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 77%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the B74 2 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 (+57.9% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−26.8%). 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) | −2.3% | −4.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 66 sales completed in B74 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 229 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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 rental side of B74 2
B74 2 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.
Against the £368,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,088 a month (£13,056 a year) works out at a 3.5% 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.
Reading the B74 2 market
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.

Searches that land here, answered
People often arrive here having searched an exact postcode, such as B74 2LA. No public median exists at that scale (a full postcode is only a dozen-odd homes), but every registered sale at those addresses is plotted on the live map, with this page as the wider context.
Search phrases quoted verbatim from Google Search Console for this site (last 16 months); each is answered from the page's own Land Registry figures.
What happens to B74 2 prices now?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 15% over five years in cash but down 9% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in B: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the B area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |
