In cash terms the typical ST13 5 home went from £37,800 in 1995 to £153,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 86%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 35% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the ST13 5 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 2003 (+39.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−29.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −29.2% | −30.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.7% | −8.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
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 register shows 40 ST13 5 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 169 sales a year before the financial crisis and 95 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.
The rental side of ST13 5
For renting purposes ST13 5 sits in Staffordshire Moorlands. The ONS average private rent there is £716 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £518 a month here against £1,170 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Staffordshire Moorlands
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £153,000 median sold price, £716 a month is £8,592 a year, a gross yield of 5.6%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How ST13 5 trades
Only 40 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ST13 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 ST13, this sector trades 22% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What is for sale in ST13 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 8 homes currently on the market from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole ST13 district, not just ST13 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
14% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £240,000 | £334,950 (+40%) | £500,000 (+49%) | £687,500 (+38%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
