The property market in B78 is far from dull – think less of a calm canal, more of a canal boat ride after a gusty Midlands storm. Price trajectories look positive at first glance, but a closer squint reveals ripples of unpredictability and underlying fragility.
- From 2018 to 2022, prices by and large trended upwards, which might have set expectations soaring. Yet, if you were hoping for reliability, 2023 delivered a rather unwelcoming surprise: a drop in average value, wiping out some of that prior enthusiasm.
- Transaction volumes in B78 are on their own rollercoaster track. We noticed a massive swell in property transactions around 2021, but the numbers have whipsawed wildly since, falling, then (if projections are correct) bouncing right back for 2025. For anyone house-hunting, this volatility could make it feel like trying to sprint across a freshly-mopped floor.
- The recent stabilisation in prices is, on the surface, reassuring. Even so, quirks in the data could point to anxious sellers, hesitant buyers, and sudden economic tremors that aren’t immediately obvious in the headlines. Each year’s figures admit more than a little uncertainty.
Thinking about buying or selling in B78? It’s wise to keep both eyes open and interrogate the data before making a leap. At M0VE, we’ve seen local demand dance to its own beat, with affordability and confidence shifting on what feels like a monthly basis. Sometimes, the B78 property scene really is a rollercoaster ride – thrilling for a casual observer, yet slightly stomach-churning once you are in the front seat.

Most people will tell you detached homes lord it over the Tamworth property scene, and on headline price, they are right. Yet, when you study B78’s recent transactions closely, some established wisdoms begin to wobble. Buyers keep marching into this market, undeterred, much like ramblers pacing up Drayton Bassett’s embankments. Why? There’s more beneath the surface than meets the eye.
Start with flats: the so-called low-budget option. But keep your hat on—while the 44 transactions are modest, the 590 sq/ft average footprint delivers a punchier price per square foot than detacheds. It is the same with terraced homes. The 158 sales since 2021 reveal buyers flocking for efficiency, not just headline price. Maybe the semi-detached sweet spot isn’t so “safe” after all, with their identical £320 per sq/ft cost matching detached homes—contradicting the cliché that bigger always brings better value.
- Detached homes are aspirational, but keen eyes spot that terraced and flats squeeze more out of every square foot
- Semi-detached properties aren’t always the “best of both worlds”—they often match detacheds for price per sq/ft without quite reaching the space or status
- Volume isn’t everything: Each property type plays a savvy role: terraced for efficiency, detached for space, flats for low entry, semis for compromise
Put simply, the gap in B78 property values by type is not so clear-cut. Sometimes a smaller doorstep leads to a sharper investment.
Key points to takeaway
- Don’t take headline prices at face value—focus on what buyers actually pay per square foot.
- Terraced homes and flats may quietly outperform on value if you know where to look and are willing to embrace something a little less conventional in B78.
