Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on B79: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
B79 sees about 27 sales a month, which suits pricing from the latest sold homes better than from any single average or trend.
When selling here, £250,000 is only the middle of a market that runs from £127,250 to £430,500, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; roughly 27 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseFor buyers, typical prices in B79 sit below the UK average, so find out why prices run lower here before deciding it is good value.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (83 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,352 a year); your conveyancer should look at the title too.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free B79 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Lichfield (B79) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £360,000 against £125,000 for flats: about 2.9 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £127,250 and £430,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 27 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled B79 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 1 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.
B79 9LN, 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 B79 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in B79: 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 B79, band by band
Lichfield's council tax for 2026-27 set against the B79 median sold price of £250,000 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÷ £250,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,568 | £131 | 0.63% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,829 | £152 | 0.73% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,704 | £392 | 1.88% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the B79 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.
