| 1996 | £43,000 | £90,685 | 9,994 |
| 1995 | £43,000 | £93,475 | 9,232 |
In cash terms the typical ST home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 114%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the ST median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−3.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £334,500 against £110,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |

| Semi-detached | £195,000 | 1,251 | 119,947 |
| Terraced | £143,000 | 819 | 97,128 |
| Flats | £110,000 | 165 | 14,588 |
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.8% | −6.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 6,949 ST sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 13,350 sales a year before the financial crisis and 7,998 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around ST
For renting purposes ST sits in Stafford, the local authority covering most of the ST area (parts fall under Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Moorlands, where rents differ). The ONS average private rent there is £891 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £624 a month here against £1,341 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Stafford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£891 a month is £10,692 a year, which against the £200,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

The price of an extra bedroom in ST
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the ST area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £240,000 | £334,950 (+40%) | £500,000 (+49%) | £687,500 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £165,000 | £180,000 (+9%) | £228,000 (+27%) | £310,000 (+36%) | £402,500 (+30%) |
| Terraced | £132,000 | £126,000 (-5%) | £165,000 (+31%) | £235,000 (+42%) | £360,000 (+53%) |
| Flat | £95,000 | £125,000 (+32%) | £185,000 (+48%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
