B90 2 sold prices: where the market stands
The B90 2 median stands at £319,000 for 2026, built from 64 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £342,500, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
B90 2 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of B90 2 sales average about £3,880 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.
Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, B90 2 sits 12% above the national market.

In cash terms the typical B90 2 home went from £64,800 in 1995 to £319,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 126%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B90 2 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 (+26.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−8.1%). 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) | −8.1% | −10.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 64 B90 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 247 sales a year before the financial crisis and 173 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.
What homes rent for around B90 2
B90 2 falls under Solihull, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,260 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £319,000 median sold price, £1,260 a month is £15,120 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in B
What homes of each size actually sold for across the B area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |
