The standing WS7 0 (Burntwood) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month.

No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 21 registered 2026 sales put the WS7 0 (Burntwood) median at £300,000, up 27% on five years earlier, with a mean of £418,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,180 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 1,932 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
WS7 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside WS7 (Burntwood). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical WS7 0 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 176%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the WS7 0 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 (+58.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.5%). 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) | +14.3% | +11.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.9% | 0.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Sales activity in WS7 0
Sales per year, counted
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.
The register shows 21 WS7 0 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 72 sales a year before the financial crisis and 54 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 WS7 0
The local authority for WS7 0 is Lichfield, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,096 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £737 a month here against £1,690 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Lichfield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £300,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,096 a month (£13,152 a year) works out at a 4.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the WS7 0 market
This is a thin market: 21 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. Within WS7, this sector trades 15% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What is for sale in WS7 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 25 homes currently on the market from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole WS7 district, not just WS7 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 16% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Telford Close, Burntwood, Staffordshi...
- Hazelmere Drive, Burntwood, Staffords...
- Manor Rise, Burntwood, Burntwood
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in WS
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WS area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £370,000 (+35%) | £572,400 (+55%) | £821,400 (+44%) |
| Semi-detached | £196,000 | £215,000 (+10%) | £255,000 (+19%) | £340,000 (+33%) | £400,000 (+18%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
