In cash terms the typical B97 5 home went from £68,000 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 120%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B97 5 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 2004 (+25.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.8% | +1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Sales activity in B97 5
How many homes change hands
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.
B97 5 recorded 107 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 418 sales a year before the financial crisis and 232 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.
Rents around B97 5
The local authority for B97 5 is Redditch, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £904 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £631 a month here against £1,341 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £325,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.3%. 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.

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. 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.
