In short: the middle 2026 sale in ST5 3 (Newcastle) came in at £240,000, out of 37 registered, up 1% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £249,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,680 per square metre over the last five years.

A postcode sector like ST5 3 is a single group of streets within ST5 (Newcastle), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

Today's ST5 3 prices, from the sold record

In the ST5 3 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £240,000, from 37 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £249,700, sitting practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.

ST5 3 prices by floor area

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in ST5 3 costs about £2,680 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts ST5 3 16% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical ST5 3 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 101%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+27.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−12.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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.

Sales activity in ST5 3

ST5 3 recorded 37 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 150 sales a year before the financial crisis and 117 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.

Rents around ST5 3

The local authority for ST5 3 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.

£826 a month is £9,912 a year, which against the £240,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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.

What kind of market ST5 3 is

Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ST5 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the ST5 district median, ST5 3 sits 28% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
