Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on B78: steady sales, so price from the evidence
B78 is neither busy nor quiet, at about 28 sales a month, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are selling, the £155,000 to £405,500 range is where most B78 sales landed, so start from the nearest comparable sale and work outwards; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseIf you are buying, typical prices in B78 sit close to the UK average, so hold any asking price up against the sold homes of the same type.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (546 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,352 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
Our free B78 OfferCheck puts the rest of the picture alongside these prices, and the Report explains which parts deserve a second look.

Median across 12 sampled postcodes; 1 is the most deprived 10% of England, 10 the least.
Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled B78 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 10, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
B78 1AJ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so B78 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in B78: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in B78, band by band
Lichfield's council tax for 2026-27 set against the B78 median sold price of £255,500 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearLichfield | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £255,500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,568 | £131 | 0.61% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,704 | £392 | 1.84% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the B78 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. 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.
