Walmley market report B76 2, Sutton Coldfield

The standing B76 2 (Walmley) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 4,308 registered sales in B76 2 (Sutton Coldfield) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing 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: 39 registered 2026 sales put the B76 2 (Sutton Coldfield) median at £350,000, up 19% on five years earlier, with a mean of £340,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,820 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,308 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

B76 2 is one sector of B76 (Sutton Coldfield): 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.

B76 2 sold prices: where the market stands

The 2026 median for B76 2 is £350,000, taken from 39 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £340,300, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.

Price per square metre in B76 2

Measured by floor area, the last five years of B76 2 sales average about £3,820 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving B76 2 23% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical B76 2 home went from £82,500 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 95%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 9% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 1997 (+26.2% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−21.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

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.

Transaction volumes

The register shows 39 B76 2 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 200 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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 B76 2

For renting purposes B76 2 sits in Birmingham. The ONS average private rent there is £1,088 a month (May 2026). 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.

Against the £350,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,088 a month (£13,056 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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.

What kind of market B76 2 is

This is a thin market: 39 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.

Where do B76 2 prices go next?

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 19% over five years in cash but down 6% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

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.
