In cash terms the typical CT19 4 home went from £44,500 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 195%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CT19 4 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 (+29.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.9%). 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) | +0.9% | −1.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in CT19 4
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.
The register shows 37 CT19 4 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 186 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the CT19 4 market
Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CT19 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around CT19 4
CT19 4 falls under Folkestone and Hythe, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,161 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £793 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,699 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Folkestone and Hythe
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,161 a month is £13,932 a year, which against the £285,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CT: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CT area. 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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
