A postcode sector like B98 8 is a single group of streets within B98 (Redditch), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

Today's B98 8 prices, from the sold record

The B98 8 median stands at £227,500 for 2026, built from 26 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £249,600, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

What a square metre costs in B98 8

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in B98 8 costs about £2,900 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so B98 8 trades 20% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical B98 8 home went from £51,500 in 1995 to £227,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 103%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2010 (+21.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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.

Transaction volumes

The register shows 26 B98 8 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 170 sales a year before the financial crisis and 78 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.

How B98 8 trades

This is a thin market: 26 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.

What homes rent for around B98 8

B98 8 falls under Redditch, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £904 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £631 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,341 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

Set against the £227,500 median sold price, £904 a month is £10,848 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
