In cash terms the typical ST21 home went from £67,000 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 140%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the ST21 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 2019 (+30.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−14.9%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 56% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £409,500 against £162,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

What ST21 has returned, per year

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in ST21
Sales per year, counted
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 79 ST21 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 106 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 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 tenants pay around ST21
For renting purposes ST21 sits in Stafford. The ONS average private rent there is £891 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £624 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,341 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Stafford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £350,000 median sold price, £891 a month is £10,692 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: 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.
Reading the ST21 market
Only 79 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ST21 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. ST21 sits 2 of 21 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
ST21 (Eccleshall): the questions that come up
Is ST21 (Eccleshall) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in ST21 (Eccleshall)?
Are property prices falling in ST21 (Eccleshall)?
Where do ST21 prices go next?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 11% over five years in cash but down 12% 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 ST21 right now
Everything above is what homes in ST21 sold for. The live side of the market holds 5 homes at the moment, listed by 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 7% above the ST21 median sold price.
20% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in ST: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the ST area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £240,000 | £334,950 (+40%) | £500,000 (+49%) | £687,500 (+38%) |

| Flat | £95,000 | £125,000 (+32%) | £185,000 (+48%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
