CT4 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CT4 (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 CT4 6 home went from £88,500 in 1995 to £515,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 168%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CT4 6 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 1999 (+38.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−24.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CT4 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +17.0% | +14.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in CT4 6
The year-by-year sales count
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.
CT4 6 recorded 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 86 sales a year before the financial crisis and 50 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 CT4 6 is
Only 23 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CT4 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the CT4 district median, CT4 6 sits 26% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around CT4 6
CT4 6 falls under Folkestone and Hythe, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,161 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £793 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,699 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Folkestone and Hythe
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £515,000 median sold price, £1,161 a month is £13,932 a year, a gross yield of 2.7%: 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
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CT area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

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.
