How Eliot Croft, Bilston prices moved
The chart tracks the median Eliot Croft, Bilston house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 to 2004. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2 | £47,295 | £105,017 |
| 2000s | 1 | £89,000 | £162,132 |
The highest yearly median on record for Eliot Croft, Bilston is £89,000 in 2004; the lowest is £47,295 in 1999. Across the full 7-year record the cash median has moved from £51,748 to £89,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £107,300, so the real change over the whole record is +53.9% — about +7.45% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +72.0% in cash against +53.9% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Eliot Croft, Bilston is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 34 | 56.7% | £57,995 | £42,500 – £155,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Eliot Croft, Bilston
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 60 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 60 | 100.0% | £59,998 |
| New build | 28 | 46.7% | £47,500 |
| Existing home | 32 | 53.3% | £100,475 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -52.7%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Dudley, 38.7% of 144,533 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.9% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Dudley at £852 a month as of Jun 2026 — £607 for a one-bedroom home and £935 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £59,998 here, that rent is a gross yield of 17.04% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of WV14, 319 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 122 violent, 18 burglary, 35 vehicle-related and 7 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.9 times busier.
Against the 323,486 residents the 2021 census counted in Dudley, that is 0.99 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Eliot Croft, Bilston?
The median price paid in Eliot Croft, Bilston across every sale on the register is £59,998. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Eliot Croft, Bilston?

In cash, the median rose +72.0% between 1998 and 2004. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +53.9%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Eliot Croft, Bilston house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £89,000, set in 2004. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 30 Mar 2022. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
