Leek market report ST13
The standing ST13 (Leek) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 15,108 registered sales in ST13 (Leek) 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.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the 2026 median for ST13 (Leek) is £195,000, from 155 registered sales, up 8% on five years earlier; the mean is £246,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,520 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 15,108 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
ST13 is the postcode district covering Leek in Leek. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

The ST13 median stands at £195,000 for 2026, built from 155 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £246,700, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
What a square metre costs in ST13
By floor space, homes in ST13 have sold for about £2,520 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.

In cash terms the typical ST13 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 104%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the ST13 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 (+43.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.7%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £377,500 against £150,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.9% | −7.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in ST13
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 310 ST13 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 613 sales a year before the financial crisis and 358 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around ST13
The local authority for ST13 is Staffordshire Moorlands, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £716 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £518 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,170, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Staffordshire Moorlands
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£716 a month is £8,592 a year, which against the £195,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.

What happens to ST13 prices now?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 8% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
What is for sale in ST13 right now
Everything above is what homes in ST13 sold for. The live side of the market holds 8 homes at the moment, listed by 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 114% above the ST13 median sold price.
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.

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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
