Market Overview: B49
Land Registry records 34 residential transactions in B49 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 £10k to £695k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
No single property type dominates — terraced houses led with 35% but the mix is diverse, while detached houses accounted for 24% and flats accounted for 18%.
The twelve-month trend is softer than it was: the median in the second half of the window was 13.6% below the first-half median. Monthly volume was fairly consistent, giving the trend line a reliable shape.
The B49 5AB 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 4.2%, based on ONS regional rents.
