In cash terms the typical B90 home went from £68,000 in 1995 to £335,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 127%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B90 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 (+22.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.7%). 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) | −2.9% | −5.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £541,600 against £172,200 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

How many homes change hands in B90
The year-by-year sales count
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, 624 sales completed in B90. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,121 sales a year before the financial crisis and 807 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.
How B90 trades
B90 sits 16 of 76 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
The rental side of B90
B90 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.
Against the £335,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,260 a month (£15,120 a year) works out at a 4.5% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

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. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £240,000 (+14%) | £300,000 (+25%) | £418,250 (+39%) | £535,000 (+28%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
