Today's B94 prices, from the sold record
The 2026 median for B94 is £605,000, taken from 39 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £640,400, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
B94 prices by floor area
A square metre of B94 home has cost about £4,950 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts B94 112% above the country at large.
A typical B94 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

| 1995 | £112,500 | £244,558 | 128 |
In cash terms the typical B94 home went from £112,500 in 1995 to £605,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 147%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B94 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 2001 (+47.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−12.7%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 57% of the typed total. In 2021, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £775,000 against £310,200 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +10.5% | +7.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +0.6% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 70 B94 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 142 sales a year before the financial crisis and 79 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.
The rental side of B94
B94 falls under Stratford-on-Avon, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,135 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £805 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,794 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Stratford-on-Avon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £605,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,135 a month (£13,620 a year) works out at a 2.3% 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.
Reading the B94 market
This is a thin market: 70 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. By median price, B94 presently tops its postcode area.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 5% over five years in cash but down 17% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What is for sale in B94 right now

8% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

Month by month: when B94 sells
June is when B94 changes hands most (13.6% of the 531 sales dated 2021 to 2025); May is the quiet end at 5.1%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 38 | 7.2% |
| February | 39 | 7.3% |

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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £270,000 | £297,500 (+10%) | £360,000 (+21%) | £469,794 (+30%) | £650,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £230,000 (+10%) | £265,000 (+15%) | £335,000 (+26%) | £435,000 (+30%) |
| Terraced | £174,000 | £200,000 (+15%) | £210,000 (+5%) | £265,000 (+26%) | £325,000 (+23%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £155,000 (+29%) | £223,000 (+44%) | £330,000 (+48%) | £450,000 (+36%) |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
