Let Agreed: Clements Road, Yardley at £1,600 PCM

Partridge Homes has agreed a let on a four-bedroom semi-detached home on Clements Road, Yardley, at £1,600 per calendar month. The property combines generous living space, multiple bathrooms, and a large rear garden, and it’s now occupied. For landlords with a larger rental home in Yardley or the surrounding area, it’s worth looking at what this result tells you about the local market and how well-specified family homes are performing in 2026.

The Property: What Makes Clements Road Stand Out

Not all four-bedroom homes are the same, and Clements Road illustrates that clearly. The headline bedroom count is only part of the picture.

The open-plan kitchen diner brings cooking and everyday living into one connected space, which remains one of the most sought-after features among family tenants. A separate lounge alongside it gives the household somewhere to step away from that activity, which matters when four or more people are sharing a home. The layout offers flexibility rather than forcing everyone into the same room.

Bathroom provision is where this property really separates itself. Two en-suite facilities, a full upstairs bathroom, and a guest W.C. downstairs means that a family with multiple occupants isn’t competing for one shared bathroom in the morning. That kind of specification is a genuine letting point, not a minor detail.

Outside, a large rear garden extends the usable space well beyond the interior. For family tenants, outdoor space is rarely an afterthought.

What £1,600 PCM Tells You About the Yardley Market

The Clements Road figure sits in a useful position relative to the local data. The average rent for a four-bedroom home in the Yardley West and Stechford area runs at around £1,750 pcm, while the Birmingham-wide average for four-plus bedroom properties is £1,563 pcm. Clements Road, at £1,600 pcm, lands between those two figures, which is consistent with a well-specified home in a good position that was priced accurately rather than speculatively.

For context, the average rent across all property types in Yardley is £1,003 pcm, and across Birmingham as a whole, £1,088 pcm, with annual rent growth running at 3.3% as of April 2026. The gap between those all-type averages and the Clements Road figure reflects the step-change in specification and space that a larger, well-fitted family home represents.

Birmingham’s rental supply fell by 9% in Q4 2025 compared to the same period the year before, and the average rental property in the city was finding a tenant in around 32 days. Demand is holding up, and the market is becoming more selective rather than less active: tenants are choosing carefully, which means properties that are presented well and priced correctly are moving, while those that aren’t are sitting.

Looking further ahead, JLL projects rental values in Birmingham will rise by approximately 18.8% between 2025 and 2029, the second-highest growth forecast among the UK’s six major cities. That’s a projection, not a guarantee, but it reflects the structural factors behind Birmingham’s rental market: population growth, the relocation of major employers including Goldman Sachs and HSBC to the city, and a supply pipeline that continues to lag behind demand.

What This Means for Landlords With Larger Homes

The Clements Road result is a specific outcome for a specific property. It would be a mistake to treat it as an automatic guide to what another four-bedroom house in Yardley would achieve.

The factors that influence a rental valuation for a larger home include:

• Condition and presentation. A property that has been maintained, updated, and presented well will consistently outperform one of the same size that hasn’t.
• Bathroom provision. For family tenants sharing a home, the number and location of bathrooms carries real weight. An additional en-suite or a downstairs W.C. can materially affect both achievable rent and time to let.
• Outdoor space. A usable garden, particularly for family lets, is a genuine differentiator. Its size, condition, and privacy all matter.
• Layout. Open-plan living is popular, but so is having a room to close the door on. Properties that offer both tend to appeal to a wider range of tenants.
• Location within Yardley. Proximity to schools, transport links, and local amenities will affect demand and achievable rent, sometimes significantly, even within a small geographical area.

If you have made improvements to your property, those should form part of any valuation conversation. If you’re weighing up works before letting, it’s worth getting advice before committing the budget, since not every improvement will translate equally into higher rent or faster lettings.

The Yardley Rental Market in 2026

Yardley, Sheldon, and the surrounding areas have seen sustained tenant demand, in part because they offer comparatively accessible rents relative to central Birmingham while remaining well connected. The average property price across Yardley over the past year sits at around £237,978, with four-bedroom homes averaging £362,000. At those purchase prices, the average rental yield across Birmingham of approximately 5.44% gives landlords a reasonable benchmark for assessing returns, though individual outcomes will vary considerably depending on the property and how it’s managed.

Birmingham’s population is projected to reach 1.24 million by 2030. That growth, combined with the supply constraint already evident in the market, means the conditions that have supported rental demand in Yardley are unlikely to ease in the near term.

For landlords who own a well-specified larger home in the area, or who are considering buying one, the Clements Road result is a useful data point: quality stock, presented and priced correctly, is still letting quickly and achieving strong figures.
