House prices per square metre in ST15

In cash terms the typical ST15 home went from £62,000 in 1995 to £280,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 108%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the ST15 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 (+35.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What ST15 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +14.3% | +11.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £387,000 against £148,500 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 303 sales completed in ST15. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 519 sales a year before the financial crisis and 324 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 ST15
The local authority for ST15 is Stafford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £891 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £624 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,341, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Stafford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £280,000 median sold price, £891 a month is £10,692 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in ST
What homes of each size actually sold for across the ST area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| 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%) |

| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
