Tipton market report DY4 8
The DY4 8 (Tipton) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 4,436 registered sales in DY4 8 (Tipton) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 30 registered 2026 sales put the DY4 8 (Tipton) median at £220,000, up 41% on five years earlier, with a mean of £213,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,550 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,436 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
DY4 8 is one sector of DY4 (Tipton): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

House prices per square metre in DY4 8

In cash terms the typical DY4 8 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 135%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DY4 8 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 2002 (+42.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−17.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.3% | −0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.2% | +2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.6% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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 30 DY4 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 198 sales a year before the financial crisis and 109 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.
How DY4 8 trades
This is a thin market: 30 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.
What homes rent for around DY4 8
DY4 8 falls under Sandwell, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £940 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £672 a month here against £1,388 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Sandwell
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £220,000 median sold price, £940 a month is £11,280 a year, a gross yield of 5.1%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in DY
Real sold prices by size across the DY area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £279,950 | £366,000 (+31%) | £580,000 (+58%) | £811,057 (+40%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
