Solihull's average home cost £334,966 in June, up £13,410 in a year. Almost all of that rise came last summer: prices have barely moved since September 2025.
The average home in Solihull borough cost £334,966 in June 2026. That is £13,410 more than a year earlier, a rise of 4.2%.
The figure comes from HM Land Registry’s UK House Price Index, which covers June sales and was published on 19 August. (UK House Price Index for June 2026, GOV.UK)
Read on its own, 4.2% sounds like a market on the move. The month-by-month figures tell a different story. Almost all of the rise happened last summer, and prices have gone nowhere since.
The whole rise came in three months
In June 2025 the borough average was £321,556. By September 2025 it had reached £335,277, up £13,721 in three months.
Nine months later, the June 2026 figure is £311 lower than that September level. The highest point of the year was November 2025, at £335,874. (UKHPI, Solihull, June 2025 to June 2026)
That is also why the headline rate has jumped. In March the borough’s annual change was just 0.5%. By June it was 4.2%, although prices were only about £4,000 higher. The difference is the comparison: the year-ago figure it is measured against is still the low point from before last summer’s rise.
Once the July and August figures are compared against last summer’s higher prices, the annual rate will fall unless prices start climbing again.

How Solihull compares
Solihull remains the most expensive of the seven West Midlands metropolitan boroughs by a wide margin. Its average is £100,816 above Birmingham’s and £41,704 above the average for England.
It is not the fastest riser, though. Wolverhampton and Dudley both grew faster over the year, from much lower starting points.

- If you are buying, the market has not run away from you this year. Prices in June were £908 below the November peak.
- If you are a first-time buyer, the average price you are up against is £267,805, close to the average for a terraced house.

How to read these figures
The UK House Price Index is a mean average, not a median. The borough figure covers everything from flats to large detached homes, and terraced homes and flats average well below it.
It is also adjusted for the mix of homes sold. That stops a month with lots of big detached sales from looking like a price surge.
Recent months get revised as late sales are registered. The May 2026 figure for Solihull is now £334,480, up 3.4% on a year earlier. The June figure may move in the same way when the next release comes out.
