How Damson Lane, Solihull prices moved
The chart tracks the median Damson Lane, Solihull house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 5 | £73,000 | £162,094 |
| 2000s | 9 | £170,000 | £309,690 |
| 2010s | 10 | £230,000 | £324,300 |
| 2020s | 5 | £323,798 | £330,837 |
The highest yearly median on record for Damson Lane, Solihull is £370,000 in 2012; the lowest is £58,500 in 1995. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £58,500 to £308,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £129,898, so the real change over the whole record is +142.3% — about +2.99% 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: +43.3% in cash against +3.8% 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.

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 Damson Lane, Solihull values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Damson Lane, Solihull 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 | 154 | 49.8% | £170,000 | £30,100 – £415,000 |
| Terraced | 114 | 36.9% | £174,950 | £32,000 – £390,000 |
| Detached | 41 | 13.3% | £256,000 | £86,120 – £600,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Damson Lane, Solihull
17 of the sales on record are leasehold and 292 freehold — 5.5% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £144,000 and the median freehold sale £187,500 — a gap of +30.2%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 17 | 5.5% | £144,000 |
| Freehold | 292 | 94.5% | £187,500 |
| New build | 6 | 1.9% | £377,500 |
| Existing home | 303 | 98.1% | £183,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +106.3%. 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 14 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 Solihull, 42.8% of 95,832 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.7% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Solihull at £1,263 a month as of Jun 2026 — £847 for a one-bedroom home and £1,246 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £185,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.17% 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 B91, 226 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 67 violent, 8 burglary, 10 vehicle-related and 11 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.4 times busier.
Against the 216,240 residents the 2021 census counted in Solihull, that is 1.05 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.

The 2021 census counted 216,240 residents in Solihull across 89,482 households. 73.0% of those households own their home and 26.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

Within Solihull the street ranks 1014 of 1411 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £215,000 (-13.7%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,144 per square metre, across 72 of the 309 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Damson Lane, Solihull sits in Solihull, in the West Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Solihull at 7.8 times median local earnings of £42,587 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Damson Lane, Solihull?
The median price paid in Damson Lane, Solihull across every sale on the register is £185,500. 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 Damson Lane, Solihull?
309 sales are on record for Damson Lane, Solihull, the most recent completing on 30 Jan 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Damson Lane, Solihull house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +43.3% between 2015 and 2025. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +3.8%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Damson Lane, Solihull house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £370,000, set in 2012. 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 Damson Lane, Solihull?
£2,144 per square metre, from the 72 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 30 Jan 2026. 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.
