Birmingham house price trend, 1995–today

Nominal (not inflation-adjusted) average prices from the UK House Price Index for the Birmingham local authority:

Jan 1995	£43,407	18.7
April 2026	£235,682	101.4

UKHPI is mix-adjusted (it controls for the type of homes sold) and published with a ~2-month lag. Figures are nominal — real-terms growth is lower once inflation is accounted for. This is a trend, not a forecast.

The average house price in Birmingham is £235,682 as of April 2026, according to the HM Land Registry UK House Price Index — a mix-adjusted index for the whole local authority, up +0.7% year-on-year. This is an area average, not the price of any single home.

Are house prices in Birmingham rising or falling?

Over the year to April 2026, the UK House Price Index average for Birmingham moved +0.7%. UKHPI is published with a roughly two-month lag and revised as more sales complete, so treat the latest month as provisional. We show a nominal trend back to 1995, not a forecast.

This page shows the area average. To see the actual recorded sale prices of individual properties — every completed sale, by address — see the B1 sold-prices page, which lists recent HM Land Registry transactions. For one exact address, check it on HouseCheckup.

Is this an official valuation?

No. The UK House Price Index is an area-level statistical index, and any value range HouseCheckup shows for an address is derived from comparable sold prices — never a single-number automated valuation. For a mortgage valuation you need a RICS surveyor.
