Solihull House Prices: June 2026 Market Update

Property prices in Solihull have edged up over the past twelve months, though the pace of growth has softened compared to previous years. If you own a house in the area and are thinking about selling, the picture is more nuanced than a single headline figure suggests. The type of property you own, and where in Solihull it sits, matters considerably.

Here is what the latest data shows, and what it means for sellers.

The Headline Numbers

According to the Zoopla May 2026 House Price Index, the typical Solihull home is now worth £325,300 — well above the UK average of £272,300. Annual price growth stands at 1.3%, which has added roughly £4,200 to the value of an average property over the past year.

That 1.3% figure places Solihull just behind the UK average of 1.4%, and behind the West Midlands region as a whole. Month-on-month, prices have been flat. Over five years, though, values have grown by 14.1% — a meaningful return for anyone who bought before the post-pandemic surge.

HM Land Registry data adds further context. The Solihull average reached £398,000 in December 2025, sitting well above both the West Midlands regional average of £296,000 and the Great Britain average of £332,000 for the same period (HM Land Registry, UK House Price Index, December 2025). In March 2026, the provisional average was £330,000, broadly in line with the year before.

It is worth noting that different sources use different methodologies, so headline figures vary. What they agree on is that Solihull consistently commands a premium over regional and national benchmarks.

How Different Property Types Are Performing

Not all sellers are in the same position. The Zoopla data makes clear that the type of property you own has a significant bearing on how your sale is likely to go.

Houses are holding up well. Detached, semi-detached and terraced homes have each risen by around 2% over the past year. Their five-year performance is stronger still:

ONS data for the year to March 2026 broadly corroborates this: semi-detached properties in Solihull rose by 1.8% annually.

Flats and maisonettes are a different story. Prices in this segment are down 1.9% over the past year, and ONS figures show flats fell by 3.5% in the year to March 2026. If you own a flat in Solihull and are considering selling, pricing strategy matters more than ever. Buyers in this segment have options, and overpricing will cost you time.

Where in Solihull You Are Matters

Solihull is not a uniform market. Postcode-level differences are significant, and sellers should understand where their property sits within the local spectrum before settling on an asking price.

The B91 postcode, covering Blossomfield Road, Sharmans Cross and the streets around Tudor Grange Park, consistently commands the highest prices in the borough. Three- and four-bedroom family homes in B91 are currently achieving in the region of £520,000 to £550,000. The most expensive micro-area, B91 1, averages £573,000.

At the more accessible end, the B92 postcode, which covers Olton, Lyndon and Elmdon, has an average of £289,000. Family homes in B92 are broadly in the £310,000 to £330,000 range.

This spread matters for sellers. A semi-detached home in B91 and a semi-detached home in B92 are not competing for the same buyer, and should not be priced or marketed as though they are.

What the Asking Price Gap Tells You

The average asking price in Solihull stood at £453,162 in May 2026, against a Zoopla average sold price of £380,501. That is a gap of roughly £73,000 between what sellers are hoping to achieve and what buyers are actually paying.

Some of that gap reflects the natural difference between asking and achieved prices. But it also reflects properties sitting on the market at aspirational prices that buyers are not meeting. For sellers, this is a practical signal: realistic pricing from the outset will almost always produce a faster and better outcome than starting high and reducing later.

Sales Volumes Have Fallen

Approximately 1,300 properties sold in Solihull over the period covered by the data, a fall of 21.1% compared to the previous year (Zoopla, May 2026 House Price Index). The busiest price bracket was £300,000 to £400,000, accounting for 28.9% of sales, followed by £400,000 to £500,000 at 14.5%.

Fewer transactions mean more competition between sellers for a smaller pool of active buyers. This does not mean the market is in difficulty; it means presentation, pricing and agent quality carry more weight than they do in a buoyant market.

What This Means If You Are Selling

The Solihull market in mid-2026 rewards sellers who are clear-eyed about their position. A few practical points follow from the data:

• House owners are in a stronger position than flat owners. If you own a detached, semi or terrace, you are selling into a segment where demand has held up and values have risen. If you own a flat, you need a pricing strategy that accounts for a segment under pressure.
• Postcode matters as much as property type. A realistic valuation needs to reflect where in Solihull you are, not just the borough-wide average.
• The gap between asking and achieved prices is wide. Sellers who price accurately from day one are more likely to sell within a reasonable timeframe and avoid the reputational cost of visible reductions.
• Buyer segments vary. First-time buyers in Solihull paid an average of £264,000 in March 2026, while home-movers paid £401,000. Understanding which buyer your property is most likely to attract shapes how it should be presented and where it should be marketed.

The Broader Picture

Solihull remains one of the higher-value markets in the West Midlands. Even with growth moderating, a 14.1% rise over five years represents a meaningful gain for owners who have held through the cycle. The outlook for the rest of 2026 is steady rather than speculative, with modest further growth expected across the house market and continued pressure on the flat segment.

For sellers, the conditions are workable. The market is not racing away, but well-priced, well-presented properties in the right postcodes are still finding buyers.
