In cash terms the typical CT18 7 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 165%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CT18 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 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−13.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CT18 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.8% | −5.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The register shows 77 CT18 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 330 sales a year before the financial crisis and 168 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 homes rent for around CT18 7
The local authority for CT18 7 is Folkestone and Hythe, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,161 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £793 a month here against £1,699 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Folkestone and Hythe
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £345,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,161 a month (£13,932 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: CT prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CT area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
