In cash terms the typical CT1 1 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 154%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CT1 1 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 2002 (+26.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.5% | +2.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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 CT1 1
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
CT1 1 recorded 55 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 179 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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.
Reading the CT1 1 market
This is a thin market: 55 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.
The rental side of CT1 1
CT1 1 falls under Canterbury, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,276 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £872 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,900, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Canterbury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £290,000 median sold price, £1,276 a month is £15,312 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What another bedroom costs in CT
Real sold prices by size across the CT area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
