In cash terms the typical B79 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £258,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 120%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B79 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 (+22.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What B79 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.5% | −9.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £371,000 against £115,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

Sales activity in B79
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 290 sales completed in B79. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 441 sales a year before the financial crisis and 339 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around B79
The local authority for B79 is Tamworth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £938 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £685 a month here against £1,462 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £258,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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 another bedroom costs in B
What homes of each size actually sold for across the B area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
