B62 is Halesowen in Dudley MBC, a former industrial town on the Stourbridge canal corridor with Black Country housing stock.
Area summary
B62 covers the eastern half of Halesowen and parts of Hasbury, Quinton and Hayley Green. The outcode sits in Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council rather than Birmingham, a council boundary that matters for planning and HMO rules. Housing is overwhelmingly interwar semi-detached and pockets of postwar council semis, with older Victorian terraces in the Halesowen town centre area and newer estates on the southern fringes.
There is no rail station in B62. Public transport is bus-led, with services along the A458 Stourbridge Road and the Hagley Road. The M5 junction 3 sits immediately south, putting central Birmingham 20 minutes away off-peak and Worcester 35 minutes south. Employment patterns are commuter into central Birmingham, the M5 corridor warehousing and the Sandwell General Hospital area.
Schools are Dudley MBC maintained provision. Demographics skew towards working families and older owner-occupiers.
Dudley MBC operates additional HMO licensing in selected wards, but not citywide as Birmingham does. The Renters' Rights Act 2026 has abolished Section 21 evictions. The proposed 2030 EPC C standard, if enacted, will be a meaningful upgrade cost on the dominant 1930s solid-wall semi stock.
