In cash terms the typical ST3 5 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £175,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 96%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 6% 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 ST3 5 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 (+29.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What ST3 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.3% | −0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.6% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
ST3 5 recorded 74 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 297 sales a year before the financial crisis and 158 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Rents around ST3 5
ST3 5 falls under Stoke-on-Trent, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £709 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £514 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,073, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Stoke-on-Trent
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£709 a month is £8,508 a year, which against the £175,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: ST prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £240,000 | £334,950 (+40%) | £500,000 (+49%) | £687,500 (+38%) |

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.

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.
