Whether you are thinking of buying, selling or simply keeping a close eye on the local market, understanding how Tamworth house prices are moving in 2026 is essential. Tamworth’s three main postcodes – B77, B78 and B79 – each tell a different story, and the gap between them is wider than many people expect.
From the established residential streets of Amington and Glascote to the sought-after villages surrounding Fazeley and the growing communities of Polesworth and Coton Green, Tamworth continues to attract strong buyer demand. Here, Belvoir Tamworth breaks down the numbers, the neighbourhoods and what it all means for you.
How Tamworth’s property market is performing in 2026
Tamworth has remained a resilient market heading into 2026. Forecasts point to price growth of around 2 to 3% across the year, underpinned by consistent buyer demand, improving commuter connectivity and a pipeline of regeneration activity that is reshaping parts of the town.
The Town Hall Place regeneration project continues to generate confidence in Tamworth’s town centre and surrounding residential areas. Meanwhile, Tamworth Station’s direct links into Birmingham New Street and London Euston keep the town firmly on the radar for commuters priced out of city centre living.
Across all three postcodes, the market is active. Properties in good condition and well-priced are selling steadily, and competition remains healthy among buyers looking for value within commuting distance of Birmingham.
B77: Amington, Glascote and Wilnecote
B77 covers some of Tamworth’s most established and densely populated residential areas, including Amington, Glascote and Wilnecote. The average house price in B77 sits at approximately £265,000 in 2026, making it the most accessible of Tamworth’s three postcodes for first-time buyers and those trading up from smaller properties.
What is driving demand in B77?
Amington and Glascote offer a broad mix of semi-detached and terraced homes, many of which were built during Tamworth’s post-war expansion. These areas appeal strongly to families thanks to local schools, green spaces and easy access to Tamworth town centre.
Wilnecote, sitting closer to the A5 corridor, attracts buyers who need straightforward road access for work. The area has seen steady interest from younger buyers and growing families looking for more space without stretching their budget.
At an average of £265,000, B77 represents genuine value within the Tamworth market. For sellers, well-presented homes with off-road parking or extended living space continue to achieve strong results.
B78: Fazeley, Polesworth and the premium tier
B78 commands the highest average prices in Tamworth at approximately £335,000 in 2026. This postcode stretches across a broader rural and semi-rural geography, taking in Fazeley, Polesworth, Birchmoor and surrounding villages.
Why B78 prices are leading the market
The premium attached to B78 reflects the character of its housing stock. Detached family homes, period properties and larger plots are far more common here than in B77, and buyers are willing to pay accordingly.
Fazeley, positioned at the junction of the A5 and A4091, offers an attractive village feel with easy access to both Tamworth and Lichfield. The canal-side setting adds to its appeal, particularly for buyers seeking a quieter lifestyle without sacrificing convenience.
Polesworth, further north along the B78 corridor, has its own distinct community identity, anchored by Polesworth Abbey and a strong local school offering. Families relocating from larger cities have increasingly looked to Polesworth as an affordable alternative to the Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield markets.
The Arkall Farm development is also contributing to the B78 story, bringing new-build stock to the area and attracting buyers who want modern energy-efficient homes in a semi-rural setting.
B79: Coton Green, Wigginton and the family heartland
B79 occupies the middle ground, with an average house price of around £290,000 in 2026. This postcode covers the northern and western fringes of Tamworth, including Coton Green, Wigginton, Hopwas and Kettlebrook.
What makes B79 a strong choice for families?
Coton Green is one of Tamworth’s most consistently popular residential areas. A mix of detached and semi-detached homes, well-regarded local schools and easy access to Tamworth town centre make it a natural landing point for growing families.
Wigginton sits at the quieter, more rural end of B79 and attracts buyers looking for larger plots and a more relaxed pace of life. Properties here tend to spend slightly longer on the market but often achieve prices that reflect their space and setting.
Hopwas, on the western edge of B79, borders open countryside and the Coventry Canal, offering an enviable lifestyle for buyers who want greenery on their doorstep while remaining within easy reach of Tamworth and Lichfield.
Which postcode is right for you?
The honest answer depends on your priorities. If budget is the primary consideration, B77 offers the strongest entry point into the Tamworth market. If lifestyle, space and long-term family appeal are the driving factors, B78 and B79 both deliver – with
B78 is commanding a premium for its rural character, and B79 is offering a strong balance of value and community.
For sellers, understanding where your property sits within this postcode landscape is crucial to pricing it correctly and attracting the right buyers from the outset.
