In cash terms the typical B79 8 home went from £48,500 in 1995 to £241,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 129%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B79 8 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 2004 (+29.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−18.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What B79 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.7% | −12.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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 B79 8
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 58 sales completed in B79 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 164 sales a year before the financial crisis and 117 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.
What homes rent for around B79 8
The local authority for B79 8 is Tamworth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £938 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £685 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,462 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Tamworth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£938 a month is £11,256 a year, which against the £241,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. 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.
What kind of market B79 8 is
Only 58 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes B79 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

What another bedroom costs 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.

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
