In cash terms the typical B76 1 home went from £68,000 in 1995 to £355,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 140%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B76 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 2003 (+22.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.9%). 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) | +2.9% | +0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in B76 1
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
B76 1 recorded 59 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 315 sales a year before the financial crisis and 133 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.
The rental side of B76 1
The local authority for B76 1 is Birmingham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,088 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £821 a month here against £1,563 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Birmingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £355,000 median sold price, £1,088 a month is £13,056 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
What kind of market B76 1 is
Only 59 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes B76 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

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.
