In cash terms the typical B90 1 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £316,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 142%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B90 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 1998 (+39.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−23.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.8% | −4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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 year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
B90 1 recorded 92 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 362 sales a year before the financial crisis and 212 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.
Reading the B90 1 market
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 tenants pay around B90 1
For renting purposes B90 1 sits in Solihull. The ONS average private rent there is £1,260 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £844 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,851 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Solihull
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £316,200 median sold price, £1,260 a month is £15,120 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.

Moving up a bedroom in B: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the B area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
