In cash terms the typical B96 6 home went from £71,500 in 1995 to £347,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 123%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B96 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 2024 (+56.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−25.7%). 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) | −19.0% | −20.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 17 sales completed in B96 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 113 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 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.
What tenants pay around B96 6
B96 6 falls under Redditch, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £904 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £631 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,341, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Redditch
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£904 a month is £10,848 a year, which against the £347,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.1%. 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.
Reading the B96 6 market
This is a thin market: 17 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.

Real sold prices by size across the B area, straight 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.
