| 1996 | £29,500 | £62,214 | 140 |
| 1995 | £29,200 | £63,476 | 128 |
In cash terms the typical ST3 4 home went from £29,200 in 1995 to £173,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 174%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 6% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the ST3 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 2004 (+32.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−21.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.2% | −0.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.2% | +0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 38 ST3 4 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 228 sales a year before the financial crisis and 87 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 ST3 4
For renting purposes ST3 4 sits in Stoke-on-Trent. The ONS average private rent there is £709 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £514 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,073 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Stoke-on-Trent
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £173,800 median purchase price, a rent of £709 a month (£8,508 a year) works out at a 4.9% 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.
How ST3 4 trades
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ST3 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

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. 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.

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