In cash terms the typical CT20 3 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £336,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 197%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CT20 3 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 2002 (+31.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.3% | −2.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CT20 3
Sales per year, counted
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 register shows 61 CT20 3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 186 sales a year recently, against 184 a year before 2008. 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.
What kind of market CT20 3 is
Against the CT20 district median, CT20 3 sits 25% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around CT20 3
The local authority for CT20 3 is Folkestone and Hythe, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,161 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £336,000 median sold price, £1,161 a month is £13,932 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in CT
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CT area, 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.
| 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%) |

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
