| 1995 | £39,700 | £86,302 | 37 |
In cash terms the typical WS10 7 home went from £39,700 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 149%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 7% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WS10 7 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 2003 (+31.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−11.8%). 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) | +16.2% | +13.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.4% | +0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.9% | +3.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
WS10 7 recorded 25 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 63 sales a year before the financial crisis and 45 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.
Reading the WS10 7 market
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WS10 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
Rents around WS10 7
The local authority for WS10 7 is Sandwell, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £940 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £672 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,388, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Sandwell
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £215,000 median sold price, £940 a month is £11,280 a year, a gross yield of 5.2%: 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.

Will WS10 7 prices rise from here?

What another bedroom costs in WS
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WS area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £370,000 (+35%) | £572,400 (+55%) | £821,400 (+44%) |

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.
