In cash terms the typical B92 7 home went from £59,000 in 1995 to £294,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 129%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

Year-on-year change in the B92 7 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 2002 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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.

The register shows 74 B92 7 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 266 sales a year before the financial crisis and 155 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 B92 7

The local authority for B92 7 is Solihull, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.

£1,260 a month is £15,120 a year, which against the £294,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. 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.

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. 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.
