A postcode sector like ST4 3 is a single group of streets within ST4 (Stoke-On-Trent), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

| 1995 | £28,000 | £60,868 | 145 |
In cash terms the typical ST4 3 home went from £28,000 in 1995 to £113,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 86%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 8% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the ST4 3 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 (+61.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.2% | +1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in ST4 3
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.
ST4 3 recorded 32 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 241 sales a year before the financial crisis and 88 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.
The rental side of ST4 3
The local authority for ST4 3 is Stoke-on-Trent, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £709 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£709 a month is £8,508 a year, which against the £113,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.5%. 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.
Reading the ST4 3 market
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ST4 3 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. Within ST4, this sector trades 32% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Bedroom by bedroom: ST prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the ST area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

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.
