Newcastle-under-Lyme market report ST5 6, Newcastle

The ST5 6 (Newcastle-under-Lyme) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Everything below comes from 3,795 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in ST5 6 (Newcastle) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: the 2026 median for ST5 6 (Newcastle) is £164,200, from 48 registered sales, up 13% on five years earlier; the mean is £187,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,980 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,795 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

ST5 6 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.

ST5 6 sold prices: where the market stands

The 2026 median for ST5 6 is £164,200, taken from 48 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £187,000, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

House prices per square metre in ST5 6

The last five years of sales put ST5 6 at roughly £1,980 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving ST5 6 42% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical ST5 6 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £164,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 136%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2013; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2013 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+43.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−18.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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.

How many homes change hands in ST5 6

The register shows 48 ST5 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 133 sales a year before the financial crisis and 100 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.

Rents around ST5 6

For renting purposes ST5 6 sits in Newcastle-under-Lyme. The ONS average private rent there is £826 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £574 a month here against £1,301 for four or more bedrooms.

£826 a month is £9,912 a year, which against the £164,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.0%. 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 ST5 6 market

Only 48 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ST5 6 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 6 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What people ask about ST5 6 (Newcastle-under-Lyme)

Will ST5 6 prices rise from here?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 13% over five years in cash but down 11% after inflation.

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.
