St Martins market report CT1 2, Canterbury

The CT1 2 (St Martins) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 3,581 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in CT1 2 (Canterbury) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: the 2026 median for CT1 2 (Canterbury) is £262,500, from 22 registered sales, down 5% on five years earlier; the mean is £288,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,960 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,581 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

CT1 2 is one sector of CT1 (Canterbury): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What buyers actually paid in CT1 2

In the CT1 2 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £262,500, from 22 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £288,500, sitting a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

What a square metre costs in CT1 2

The last five years of sales put CT1 2 at roughly £3,960 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.

Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, CT1 2 sits 8% below the national market.

In cash terms the typical CT1 2 home went from £58,800 in 1995 to £262,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 105%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+34.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−17.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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.

The turnover behind the prices

Over the last twelve months of data, 22 sales completed in CT1 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 124 sales a year before the financial crisis and 80 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

What kind of market CT1 2 is

Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CT1 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the CT1 district median, CT1 2 sits 9% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What tenants pay around CT1 2

For renting purposes CT1 2 sits in Canterbury. The ONS average private rent there is £1,276 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £872 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,900 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

Set against the £262,500 median sold price, £1,276 a month is £15,312 a year, a gross yield of 5.8%: 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.

Where do CT1 2 prices go next?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 5% over five years in cash but down 25% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
