Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 6,076 sales registered with HM Land Registry in CT19 5 (Folkestone) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 49 registered 2026 sales put the CT19 5 (Folkestone) median at £300,000, up 18% on five years earlier, with a mean of £317,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,270 per square metre over the last five years.

In cash terms the typical CT19 5 home went from £42,500 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 225%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CT19 5 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 (+29.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−5.3%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +0.9% |
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
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 49 sales completed in CT19 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 252 sales a year before the financial crisis and 134 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 5 market
Only 49 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CT19 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What homes rent for around CT19 5
The local authority for CT19 5 is Folkestone and Hythe, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £300,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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
Real sold prices by size across the CT area, straight 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.

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

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.
