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.

We identified Signature as our agent due to a sale in the neighbourhood. Signature have been very professional in our sale of the property in West Knighton area. Several potential buyers were identified pretty soon, and the sale completed on time. Every time there was an issue in the process, Jag was at hand to support us. Very reasonable fees, and we'll worth it. We very much recommend them, and wish them all the best.

We bought our first home with Signature and we are pleased to say it's been a very good experience with this agent. We have viewed properties and put offers in with other agents as well, but Jagjit from Signature was the best to deal with, we felt as buyers we were treated with respect and felt Jag was very honest, straight forward, and reponsive to our enquiries. Our purchase went smoothly with no hiccups and was complete in slightly over 2 months. Will always recommend if you're buying or selling.
