CT20 2 sold prices: where the market stands
Take the 67 registered 2026 sales in CT20 2 and the middle price, the median, is £241,000. The mean lands at £295,400, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
CT20 2 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of CT20 2 sales average about £3,090 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts CT20 2 15% below the country at large.

| 1996 | £40,000 | £84,358 | 177 |
| 1995 | £37,800 | £82,171 | 176 |
In cash terms the typical CT20 2 home went from £37,800 in 1995 to £241,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 193%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 22% 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 2 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 2004 (+39.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−9.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.3% | −7.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 67 sales completed in CT20 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 292 sales a year before the financial crisis and 156 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market CT20 2 is
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 10% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around CT20 2
CT20 2 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 £241,000 median sold price, £1,161 a month is £13,932 a year, a gross yield of 5.8%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: CT prices by size
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%) |
| Semi-detached | £275,000 | £300,000 (+9%) | £350,000 (+17%) | £460,000 (+31%) | £575,000 (+25%) |

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.
