B92 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside B92 (Solihull). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical B92 8 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £310,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 138%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the B92 8 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 (+30.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−8.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.9% | −7.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
B92 8 recorded 89 sales in the last 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 153 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 tenants pay around B92 8
For renting purposes B92 8 sits in Solihull. The ONS average private rent there is £1,260 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £844 a month here against £1,851 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Solihull
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £310,000 median sold price, £1,260 a month is £15,120 a year, a gross yield of 4.9%: 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
Real sold prices by size across the B area, straight 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.
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
