Property data for Birmingham

Prices, rents, yields, growth & more in Birmingham

<< Back to all cities

Birmingham is the largest and most populous British city outside London, with a population of over 1.1 million. It is is a major international commercial centre, dominated by the service sector. And ranked as a 'gamma+ world city'. An important transport, retail, events and conference hub, redevelopment of the city centre in recent years has led to many new-build apartment buildings.

There is a wide variety of investment property in Birmingham, from apartments in the city centre to houses in Edgbaston, a leafy and fashionable suburb to the south of the centre. Birmingham's six universities make it the largest centre of higher education in the country outside London and a strong consideration for student let investment property. As the fourth-most visited city in the UK by foreign visitor, short let or holiday let investment property in Birmingham should be on any property investor's radar as well.

There are 61 postcode districts with significant property markets in and around Birmingham, and here we break down key property data for each.

This is a real-time market snapshot - the data covers currently listed properties. Once properties are removed from the portal, they are soon removed from this tab.

How is the raw data processed?

Duplicates from multiple sources are matched and reconciled as far as possible. Listings with obvious errors, where price or number or bedrooms appear out of range, are discarded.

What are the statistics used?

Averages shown are the interquartile mean, a type of average that is insensitive to outliers while being its own distinct parameter. The 80% range means that 80% of the listed properties fall inside this range.

How do you know the square footage of properties?

We use proprietary technology to read the square footage of properties from agent floorplans. Although we cannot determine the square footage for all properties, we can usually get sufficient coverage. Agents are sometimes known to inflate square footage, and this should be borne in mind as a weakness of this data.
