Stafford has been identified as one of the UK’s leading housing market hotspots, recording impressive double-digit growth in property values over the last year. According to the latest analysis from Lloyds Bank, average house prices in Stafford jumped from £286,732 in 2024 to £321,248 in 2025 - a significant increase of 12% (£34,516).

This growth places Stafford second in the UK for the highest percentage rise in home values, surpassed only by Plymouth. The surge in property value comes as the town continues to undergo major regeneration and commercial development aimed at strengthening its local economy.

Driving the Growth: Local Development and Infrastructure

The rise in house prices is mirrored by several key projects currently shaping Stafford’s future:

Stafford Station Gateway: A major strategic regeneration project is underway to transform the western approach to the town centre into a "thriving, vibrant new community" by 2040. The project aims to deliver innovative workplaces and new employment opportunities within a 15-minute walk of the railway station.
Commercial Expansion at Tollgate Park: The final phase (Phase 3) of Tollgate Park is set to provide approximately 19–21 new industrial and commercial units. This development is designed to "secure and expand employment opportunities" in the local area, following the recent addition of major companies like DHL to the site.
Healthcare Improvements: Investment in local services is also evident at County Hospital, where a new Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) is being constructed as an extension to the A&E department to manage increased demand and improve patient care. A Breast Care Unit is also in the process of being built.

While house prices across the UK rose by an average of 3.7%, Stafford’s 12% surge highlights its growing appeal as a key location in the West Midlands.
