St Martins market report CT1 3, Canterbury
The standing CT1 3 (St Martins) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. The raw material for this page is 7,133 HM Land Registry entries for CT1 3 (Canterbury), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 65 registered 2026 sales put the CT1 3 (Canterbury) median at £292,000, down 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £336,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,770 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 7,133 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
CT1 3 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.

House prices per square metre in CT1 3
Measured by floor area, the last five years of CT1 3 sales average about £3,770 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts CT1 3 2% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical CT1 3 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £292,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 132%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CT1 3 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 (+24.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.2% | −12.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.4% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.7% |
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
How many homes change hands
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 3 recorded 65 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 282 sales a year before the financial crisis and 178 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.
Rents around CT1 3
CT1 3 falls under Canterbury, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,276 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Canterbury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,276 a month is £15,312 a year, which against the £292,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.2%. 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.

What is for sale in CT1 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 67 homes currently on the market from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CT1 district, not just CT1 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
33% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: CT prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CT area, 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 | — | £350,000 | £465,000 (+33%) | £665,000 (+43%) | £930,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £275,000 | £300,000 (+9%) | £350,000 (+17%) | £460,000 (+31%) | £575,000 (+25%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
