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.

Roger Coupe is an extremely professional estate agent. We worked with James (and Edward) who were just fantastic. James handled our house purchase with such reassurance that we knew we were in safe hands. The communication was great and responsive throughout. Any concerns or questions were dealt with swiftly. I would have no hesitate in recommending Roger Coupe as the 'go to' estate agent, whether you are purchasing or selling. Thank you James!

The team at Roger Coupe were fantastic. James was notably first-class, doing all that he could to ensure our tricky chain moved in the right direction. If we ever came to buy or sell again, we wouldn't look elsewhere but Roger Coupe.

I highly recommend Roger Coupe, as a thoroughly excellent estate agent. They were responsive, polite and friendly throughout our house purchase saga, and frankly we felt very supported and in good hands! Thank you so much to Edward and the whole team.

Edward and team were great in helping us secure our new property and help us move from offer to exchange in 6 weeks. Always on hand to push the seller and their solicitor to speed up the process. Thank-you.
