Market Overview: B42
Land Registry records 30 residential transactions in B42 across the last twelve months — a middle-of-the-road volume that supports broad price indications without pinning a specific street. Individual sales ranged from £12k to £376k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
No single property type dominates — terraced houses led with 40% but the mix is diverse, while semi-detached houses accounted for 30% and flats accounted for 17%.
The twelve-month trend is upward: comparing the first half of the window with the second, the median shifted by roughly +10.1%. Monthly volume was fairly consistent, giving the trend line a reliable shape.
The B42 1AA 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 6.8%, based on ONS regional rents.
