House prices in the West Midlands in 2026
The West Midlands is a market of two speeds. The regional average was £250,880 in July 2026, up 1.5% on the year, close to the UK average of £273,000. But that figure hides a big spread: Wolverhampton rose 7.2% to £221,000 and Coventry 3.7% to £228,000, while Stoke-on-Trent (£147,000), Sandwell (£206,000) and Shropshire (£275,000) all slipped slightly over the year.
Birmingham, at £234,000 and +2.5%, sits in the middle. What matters for a seller is the local picture: a Black Country terrace, a Solihull semi and a Stoke townhouse are different markets, and where prices are flat or falling a long open-market sale carries real risk of a lower final figure than the one you started with. We price every property against recent sold prices in its own postcode, not the regional average.
The trade-off is the same across the region: an estate agent sale in the West Midlands can take several months from listing to completion and can fall through at any point, while a cash sale to Bettermove completes on a date you choose, in as little as 7 days, with no agent commission and no legal fees to pay.

How it works
A fast house sale in the West Midlands, step by step
Bettermove is a genuine cash house buyer and we buy with our own funds, so there is no waiting for a buyer to be found or a mortgage to be approved. The process is the same whether you are selling in Birmingham, Coventry or Walsall.
1. Tell us about the property
Enter your postcode or call us. We ask a few questions about the house and your timescale, and look at recent sold prices in your street and area.
2. Get a firm cash offer within 24 hours
The offer is in writing, with no obligation. If it works for you, we instruct solicitors straight away and cover the legal fees. If not, you have lost nothing.
3. Complete on your date
Because there is no chain and no mortgage, we can complete in as little as 7 days. Most people choose a date that fits their move, and the money is in your account on the day.
Questions about selling fast in the West Midlands
How fast can I sell my house in the West Midlands?
With Bettermove you will have a cash offer within 24 hours of getting in touch, and we can complete in as little as 7 days once you accept. Many sellers in Birmingham and the Black Country choose a completion date a few weeks out to line up their move; the date is yours to pick.
Which parts of the West Midlands do you buy in?
All of it. We buy in Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Stoke-on-Trent, Walsall, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Telford, Worcester, Warwick, Shrewsbury, Redditch and Kidderminster, and in the towns and villages across Staffordshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Warwickshire. If your property is in the West Midlands, we can make an offer.
What is the average house price in the West Midlands in 2026?
The Office for National Statistics puts the West Midlands average at £250,880 in July 2026, up 1.5% over the year. Birmingham averages £234,000, Coventry £228,000, Wolverhampton £221,000 and Stoke-on-Trent £147,000. Our cash offer is based on recent sold prices in your specific area, not the regional figure.
Is a cash sale a good idea where prices are falling, like Stoke-on-Trent?
It can be. Where the market is flat or drifting down, a long open-market sale risks price cuts and buyers renegotiating late on. A cash offer fixes the figure on day one and removes the running costs of waiting. We are upfront that it is below full market value; our Price Promise explains exactly how we get to the number so you can compare it with the realistic alternative.
