In cash terms the typical ST17 4 home went from £47,500 in 1995 to £232,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 125%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the ST17 4 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 (+29.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What ST17 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.4% | −9.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −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.
Sales activity in ST17 4
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 68 sales completed in ST17 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 293 sales a year before the financial crisis and 195 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 homes rent for around ST17 4
ST17 4 falls under Stafford, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £891 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £624 a month here against £1,341 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Stafford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £232,500 median purchase price, a rent of £891 a month (£10,692 a year) works out at a 4.6% 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 price of an extra bedroom in ST
Real sold prices by size across the ST area, straight 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left 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.
