In cash terms the typical B94 6 home went from £90,000 in 1995 to £485,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 148%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B94 6 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 (+34.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−15.7%). 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) | −4.0% | −6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
Sales activity in B94 6
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 19 B94 6 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 86 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 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.
Reading the B94 6 market
This is a thin market: 19 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the B94 district median, B94 6 sits 21% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of B94 6
For renting purposes B94 6 sits in Solihull. The ONS average private rent there is £1,260 a month (May 2026). 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 £485,000 median sold price, £1,260 a month is £15,120 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: 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
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.
