House prices in the West Midlands

Today, we look at the West Midlands region in our series of property spotlights touching on the average house prices, number of sales and the size of the market around the country.

The figures use Land Registry House Price Index data which gives an indication of the region’s housing markets. There is not a single measure which provides a complete picture the UK market, but below are 20 areas with statistics on the total value of all property transactions in the past year.




Market snapshot:

  • The district with the largest market is Birmingham which saw £2.1bn worth of transactions in the year to January 2017.
  • This was followed by Shropshire with £923m worth of sales over the same period.
  • The district with the highest overall average house price was Stratford-upn-Avon where prices sit at £305,900, which is 40% above the national average.
  • The market with the highest number of transactions was Birmingham with 12,477 sales occurring during the period.


Where have house prices increased the most? Here are five districts with the highest annual capital growth.

Having recently Sold my house with Philip Martin Estate Agents I cannot praise the whole experience enough. From the first telephone conversation to the last it has been impressive. Professional, Polite, Guiding, Encouraging. I do need to mention Jack Loader, no question or query was too much trouble, making the selling process a pleasure.

James and his team handled a complex sale (house and adjacent land owned by a third party) with great professionalism and innovation and determination to secure our sale. He was also cognisant of our time scales in that we had not secured an onward purchase or rental property. James is an extremely approachable agent who always worked with us to successfully achieve our goals and certainly went ‘the extra mile’ when required. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

"We were so pleased with all the correspondence with Phillip Martin and you all certainly delivered a very professional and friendly service. We would particularly like to thank you for all your personal correspondence with Mrs. Dianne Jones. It went above and beyond and we are truly grateful.  As I mentioned before we have only ever bought two houses and they were both through Phillip Martin. We will certainly use you guys in the future!"

Dear Jack, I have moved into my new bungalow and it is very nice. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your efforts on my behalf. You have behaved rapidly and helpfully to assist me with all of the problems that arose for me in one of several difficult projects at once. Thank you very much.
