| 1996 | £49,000 | £103,339 | 140 |
| 1995 | £44,700 | £97,171 | 152 |
In cash terms the typical ST13 8 home went from £44,700 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 132%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the ST13 8 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 (+45.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−23.2%). 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) | +12.5% | +9.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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 38 ST13 8 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 175 sales a year before the financial crisis and 100 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 8
The local authority for ST13 8 is Staffordshire Moorlands, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £716 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £225,000 median purchase price, a rent of £716 a month (£8,592 a year) works out at a 3.8% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the ST13 8 market
This is a thin market: 38 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within ST13, this sector trades 15% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What another bedroom costs in ST
What homes of each size actually sold for across the ST area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
