Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on B49: a quiet market, so take your time

B49 sees just 14 sales a month, which is too few for firm conclusions, so we would lean on individual sold homes rather than any average.

If you are selling, with detached homes at £510,000 and flats at £171,250, the £199,800 to £650,000 spread is really several markets, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; with so few sales, allow extra time and a local agent’s view; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.

Sell house

If you are buying, typical prices in B49 sit above the UK average, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.

On any B49 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (1,051 applications on record within 500 m), whether a new-build premium is baked into the price and flood risk over the long term, and ask a conveyancer to read the title.

For what the averages cannot tell you, the free B49 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English

What the Stratford-on-Avon (B49) numbers mean

  • The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £510,000 against £171,250 for flats: about 3.0 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
  • Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £199,800 and £650,000, so the median says little about any one home.
  • 15% of these sales were new builds, which often sell at a premium the first time around and can lift the median above what resale homes make.

Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

  • This is a quiet district: only about 14 recorded sales a month.

It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.

Questions, answered

The B49 report: your questions

What is the average house price in B49?
The typical (median) sold price in B49 is £325,500, from 250 recorded sales between 21 February 2025 and 11 August 2026. Most sales fell between £199,800 and £650,000. That is above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
What does each type of home cost in B49?
Typical sold prices by type in B49: semi-detached homes £293,000 (80 sales), detached homes £510,000 (75 sales), terraced homes £268,975 (58 sales), flats £171,250 (19 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in B49?
B49 is billed by Stratford-on-Avon, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,484 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band. Look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near B49?
The Department for Education's register lists 8 open schools within 3 km of the B49 district centre, the nearest being St Benedict's Catholic High School (last Ofsted grade: Good). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
How up to date are the B49 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Is B49 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 B49 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 4 to decile 10, with a median of decile 9 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like B49 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near B49?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 1051 applications within 500 m of the B49 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in B49 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 232 distinct addresses in the records we hold for B49, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
Does B49 cover my exact street?
B49 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges, not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
