What a square metre costs in CT19

A typical CT19 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical CT19 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £280,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 214%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. 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 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 (+27.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 54% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £520,000 against £145,000 for a flat, 3.6 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.4% | −2.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Sales activity in CT19
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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 297 CT19 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 615 sales a year before the financial crisis and 316 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.
Rents around CT19
For renting purposes CT19 sits in Folkestone and Hythe. The ONS average private rent there is £1,161 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £793 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,699, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £280,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.0%. 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 another bedroom costs in CT
Real sold prices by size across the CT area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £350,000 | £465,000 (+33%) | £665,000 (+43%) | £930,000 (+40%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
