| 1995 | £33,000 | £71,737 | 975 |
In cash terms the typical ST4 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £165,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 130%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the ST4 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 (+43.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.0%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £295,000 against £91,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +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
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 550 sales completed in ST4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,540 sales a year before the financial crisis and 689 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 ST4
The local authority for ST4 is Stoke-on-Trent, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £165,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.2%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: ST prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the ST area, straight 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.

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.
