If you own a home in Knowle – or you’re thinking about buying here – you’ll want to know what the market is actually doing right now. Not the national headlines. Not the West Midlands average. The real picture, street by street, in B93.
Here’s what the data shows.
The B93 postcode: Where prices stand in 2026
The B93 postcode continues to command a significant premium over surrounding areas. The median sold price in B93 sits at £555,000 in 2026, with detached homes averaging £820,000.
Those aren’t outliers. They reflect a consistent pattern of demand for larger family homes in a well-connected, high-amenity location – and they tell a clear story for anyone weighing up whether now is the right time to sell or buy.
How prices break down across Knowle’s neighbourhoods
Knowle isn’t one market. It’s several, and understanding the differences matters whether you’re pricing a home or making an offer.
Dorridge
Dorridge sits at the top of the local price range, with homes typically selling between £640,000 and £700,000. The village feel, strong school catchments, and direct rail access to Birmingham Snow Hill make it consistently popular with professional families relocating from the city.
Properties here don’t sit on the market long. Demand regularly outpaces supply.
Knowle village centre
The village centre and its surrounding streets command prices between £605,000 and £640,000. Period homes on roads like Kenilworth Road and St John’s Close attract buyers who want character alongside convenience – and are willing to pay for it.
The High Street’s independent shops, café culture, and community feel continue to draw buyers who could afford to live elsewhere but choose Knowle specifically.
Bentley Heath
Bentley Heath offers a more accessible entry point into the B93 postcode, with prices typically ranging from £500,000 to £560,000. For buyers priced out of Dorridge or the village centre, it represents genuine value – with the same school catchments and road links at a lower starting price.
How B93 compares to neighbouring postcodes
Context matters. When you compare B93 to nearby postcodes, its premium position becomes even clearer.
B91 (Solihull town centre and surrounds) and B90 (Shirley, Cheswick Green) both record lower median prices than B93 – typically in the £380,000–£450,000 range for B90 and £420,000–£480,000 for B91, depending on property type.
That gap reflects Knowle’s distinct identity: a semi-rural character, lower housing density, and a strong sense of community that buyers pay a premium to be part of. It’s not just a postcode preference – it’s a lifestyle decision.
What’s driving demand in Knowle right now
Price levels don’t exist in a vacuum. Two significant developments are shaping the long-term outlook for the area.
The Arden Cross land release agreement
A land release agreement was confirmed for the Arden Cross site – a major mixed-use development adjacent to Birmingham International Station, just a short drive from Knowle. The project is set to deliver thousands of new jobs, commercial space, and improved connectivity to the wider region.
For Knowle homeowners, this matters. As employment hubs grow nearby, demand for well-located residential areas with good schools and a high quality of life tends to follow. Knowle fits that profile well.
The Arden Triangle planning progress
The Arden Triangle – a significant strategic development allocation in the broader Solihull area – continues to move through the planning process. While timelines for large-scale allocations can shift, the direction of travel is clear: the area around Knowle is earmarked for long-term growth.
That kind of infrastructure investment supports property values over time. It signals to buyers and lenders alike that this is a location with a future, not just a present.
What this means if you’re thinking of selling
If you own a home in B93, the data points to a market that’s performing well – and a pipeline of demand drivers that support values going forward.
That said, getting the price right from the start still matters. Homes that are overpriced tend to stall, then sell for less than they would have achieved with a more accurate initial valuation. The difference between a well-priced and an overpriced listing can be thousands of pounds – and weeks of unnecessary stress.
A current, accurate valuation based on local comparable sales is the best starting point for any decision.
What this means if you’re thinking of buying
Buying in Knowle in 2026 means entering a market where values are well-supported by fundamentals: limited supply, strong demand, excellent schools, and growing nearby infrastructure investment.
If you’re comparing B93 to B90 or B91, the premium is real – but so is the difference in what you’re getting. For many buyers, the trade-off is straightforward.
Knowing which neighbourhoods offer the best value for your budget and which properties are likely to hold or grow their value is where local expertise makes a genuine difference.
