Hanley market report ST1 5, Stoke-On-Trent

The ST1 5 (Hanley) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 2,254 registered sales in ST1 5 (Stoke-On-Trent) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: the 2026 median for ST1 5 (Stoke-On-Trent) is £105,000, from 19 registered sales, down 3% on five years earlier; the mean is £128,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,450 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 2,254 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

ST1 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside ST1 (Stoke-On-Trent). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What a home in ST1 5 sells for

Across 19 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) ST1 5 home went for £105,000. The mean is £128,300, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

Price per square metre in ST1 5

By floor space, homes in ST1 5 have sold for about £1,450 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so ST1 5 trades 63% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical ST1 5 home went from £22,200 in 1995 to £105,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 118%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 51% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2018 (+104.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−40.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.

Sales activity in ST1 5

ST1 5 recorded 19 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 135 sales a year before the financial crisis and 40 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.

What kind of market ST1 5 is

This is a thin market: 19 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within ST1, this sector trades 20% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

The rental side of ST1 5

ST1 5 falls under Stoke-on-Trent, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £709 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £514 a month here against £1,073 for four or more bedrooms.

£709 a month is £8,508 a year, which against the £105,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 8.1%. 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.

Are ST1 5 prices heading up or down?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 3% over five years in cash but down 24% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
