In cash terms the typical B92 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £310,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 138%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B92 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 (+26.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−7.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
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, 49% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £553,000 against £154,000 for a flat, 3.6 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in B92
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 461 sales completed in B92. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 791 sales a year before the financial crisis and 466 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.
Reading the B92 market
B92 sits 19 of 76 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
Rents around B92
B92 falls under Solihull, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,260 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £844 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,851, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Solihull
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,260 a month is £15,120 a year, which against the £310,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in B
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the B area. 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.

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
