A postcode sector like B78 3 is a single group of streets within B78 (Tamworth), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What B78 3 homes really sell for

The B78 3 median stands at £276,000 for 2026, built from 59 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £292,100, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

What a square metre costs in B78 3

A square metre of B78 3 home has cost about £3,320 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so B78 3 trades 3% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical B78 3 home went from £68,000 in 1995 to £276,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 87%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+41.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−11.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

What B78 3 has returned, per year

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

B78 3 recorded 59 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 196 sales a year recently, against 187 a year before 2008. 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 shape of the B78 3 market

Only 59 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes B78 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the B78 district median, B78 3 sits 10% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

What homes rent for around B78 3

For renting purposes B78 3 sits in Lichfield. The ONS average private rent there is £1,096 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £737 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,690 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

Set against the £276,000 median sold price, £1,096 a month is £13,152 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: 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.
