The Perry Barr market
Perry Barr covers the B42 postcode and north Birmingham. The district hosted the Commonwealth Games 2022 athletes’ village, which has since been converted to permanent residential use under the games-legacy framework. The wider Perry Barr masterplan will deliver c.5,000 homes over the plan period across a mix of tenure types.
The residential market is affordability-led. Prices per square foot are materially below city-centre prime but absorption is strong, driven by owner-occupiers and the local rental market. BTR has become a growing sub-segment, with yield-led pricing attracting specialist investors.
Transport connectivity has improved substantially. Perry Barr rail station upgrades and bus rapid transit links into the city centre support the development case. The A34 corridor runs through the district.

Perry Barr sits within the Big City Plan with policy support for residential intensification and mixed-use delivery.
