In cash terms the typical CT20 1 home went from £25,200 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 311%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 4% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CT20 1 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 (+32.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−32.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CT20 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +18.4% | +15.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.8% | +2.3% |
| 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.
How many homes change hands in CT20 1
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 30 CT20 1 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 191 sales a year before the financial crisis and 75 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.
What kind of market CT20 1 is
This is a thin market: 30 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within CT20, this sector trades 16% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around CT20 1
CT20 1 falls under Folkestone and Hythe, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Set against the £225,000 median sold price, £1,161 a month is £13,932 a year, a gross yield of 6.2%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in CT
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CT area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £350,000 | £465,000 (+33%) | £665,000 (+43%) | £930,000 (+40%) |
