In cash terms the typical CT15 7 home went from £64,000 in 1995 to £362,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 161%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 32% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CT15 7 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 (+32.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−17.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CT15 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.9% | −12.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.0% | −7.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 23 CT15 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 69 sales a year before the financial crisis and 51 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 tenants pay around CT15 7
For renting purposes CT15 7 sits in Dover. The ONS average private rent there is £1,012 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £722 a month here against £1,649 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Dover
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £362,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,012 a month (£12,144 a year) works out at a 3.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market CT15 7 is
This is a thin market: 23 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.
CT15 7 (Alkham): the questions that come up
Are property prices falling in CT15 7 (Alkham)?
Is CT15 7 (Alkham) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in CT15 7 (Alkham)?
Will CT15 7 prices rise from here?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 14% over five years in cash but down 32% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
The price of an extra bedroom in CT
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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
