What ST5 homes really sell for
The 2026 median for ST5 is £188,000, taken from 404 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £219,500, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
ST5 prices by floor area
Per square metre, ST5 homes have averaged around £2,320 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts ST5 34% below the country at large.

| 1996 | £43,000 | £90,685 | 1,154 |
| 1995 | £40,600 | £88,258 | 1,099 |
In cash terms the typical ST5 home went from £40,600 in 1995 to £188,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 113%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the ST5 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 2003 (+29.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−6.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.9% | −9.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £307,500 against £95,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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.
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, 882 sales completed in ST5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,443 sales a year before the financial crisis and 1,004 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.
What homes rent for around ST5
The local authority for ST5 is Newcastle-under-Lyme, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £826 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £574 a month here against £1,301 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Newcastle-under-Lyme
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£826 a month is £9,912 a year, which against the £188,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.3%. 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: ST prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the ST area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

| Flat | £95,000 | £125,000 (+32%) | £185,000 (+48%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
