How Wheatcroft Close, Redditch prices moved
The chart tracks the median Wheatcroft Close, Redditch house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2004 to 2025. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 4 | £165,495 | £301,483 |
| 2010s | 8 | £169,000 | £238,290 |
| 2020s | 3 | £257,500 | £263,098 |
The highest yearly median on record for Wheatcroft Close, Redditch is £270,000 in 2025; the lowest is £146,000 in 2013. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £176,495 to £270,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £327,445, so the real change over the whole record is -15.8% — about -0.81% 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: +58.9% in cash against +13.2% 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.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Wheatcroft Close, Redditch values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Wheatcroft Close, Redditch 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 | 97 | 52.7% | £175,995 | £93,752 – £295,000 |
| Terraced | 48 | 26.1% | £164,995 | £124,000 – £272,500 |
| Detached | 39 | 21.2% | £225,000 | £176,995 – £410,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Wheatcroft Close, Redditch
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 184 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 | 184 | 100.0% | £182,998 |
| New build | 63 | 34.2% | £169,995 |
| Existing home | 121 | 65.8% | £192,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -11.5%. 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.
A further 5 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Bromsgrove, 40.9% of 40,126 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.9% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of B97, 269 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 117 violent, 11 burglary, 4 vehicle-related and 31 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.6 times busier.
Against the 99,183 residents the 2021 census counted in Bromsgrove, that is 2.71 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 Wheatcroft Close, Redditch?
The median price paid in Wheatcroft Close, Redditch across every sale on the register is £182,998. 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 Wheatcroft Close, Redditch?
184 sales are on record for Wheatcroft Close, Redditch, the most recent completing on 17 Dec 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Wheatcroft Close, Redditch house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £270,000, set in 2025. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Wheatcroft Close, Redditch?
£2,142 per square metre, from the 66 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 17 Dec 2025. 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.
