ST5 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside ST5 (Newcastle). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

15 sales were registered in ST5 1 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £112,000. The mean works out at £132,000, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
What a square metre costs in ST5 1

| 1996 | £32,500 | £68,541 | 65 |
| 1995 | £33,800 | £73,476 | 54 |
In cash terms the typical ST5 1 home went from £33,800 in 1995 to £112,000 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 52%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 50% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the ST5 1 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 2018 (+92.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−39.5%). 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) | −20.0% | −21.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +9.9% | +4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.4% | −2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.4% | −2.3% |
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.
Sales activity in ST5 1
The year-by-year sales count
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.
ST5 1 recorded 15 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 77 sales a year recently, against 89 a year before 2008. 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.
What tenants pay around ST5 1
The local authority for ST5 1 is Newcastle-under-Lyme, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £826 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £574 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,301 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Newcastle-under-Lyme
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £112,000 median purchase price, a rent of £826 a month (£9,912 a year) works out at a 8.8% 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 ST5 1 trades
Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ST5 1 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 ST5, this sector trades 40% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in ST: the cost
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
