CT2 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CT2 (Canterbury). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical CT2 7 home went from £63,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 119%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CT2 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 2003 (+25.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CT2 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.6% | −3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in CT2 7
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 33 CT2 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 148 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around CT2 7
CT2 7 falls under Canterbury, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,276 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £872 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,900 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Canterbury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £300,000 median sold price, £1,276 a month is £15,312 a year, a gross yield of 5.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
Reading the CT2 7 market
Only 33 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CT2 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

How much did a house sell for in CT2 7 (London Road)?
Are property prices falling in CT2 7 (London Road)?
Is CT2 7 (London Road) a good place to buy a house?

Moving up a bedroom in CT: the cost
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%) |

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.
