Market Overview: B31
B31 recorded 39 residential sales in the twelve-month window, enough to ground the median but not so many that property-type or street-level differences wash out. Individual sales ranged from £50k to £398k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
Terraced houses were the most common transaction type, representing 56% of sales, while semi-detached houses accounted for 33%. A terraced-house majority usually reflects Victorian or Edwardian stock — long runs of three- or four-storey houses that rarely come to market vacant.
Prices have been essentially flat across the twelve-month window, moving by under 5% in either direction. Monthly volume was fairly consistent, giving the trend line a reliable shape.
The B31 1AB dataset is a reasonable baseline, but decisions at the individual-property level should still lean on matched comparables rather than the area median alone. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 5.3%, based on ONS regional rents.
