What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Mercer Avenue, Stone is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 61 | 100.0% | £165,000 | £64,950 – £500,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Mercer Avenue, Stone
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 61 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 61 | 100.0% | £165,000 |
| New build | 14 | 23.0% | £87,225 |
| Existing home | 47 | 77.0% | £215,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -59.4%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Stafford, 45.0% of 64,353 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.2% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Stafford at £896 a month as of Jun 2026 — £627 for a one-bedroom home and £972 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £165,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.52% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of ST15, 115 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 48 violent, 3 burglary, 7 vehicle-related and 24 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.5 times quieter.
Against the 136,867 residents the 2021 census counted in Stafford, that is 0.84 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Mercer Avenue, Stone sits in Stafford, in the West Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Stafford at 7.5 times median local earnings of £34,832 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
