Chartham market report CT4, Canterbury
The standing CT4 (Chartham) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. The raw material for this page is 8,151 HM Land Registry entries for CT4 (Canterbury), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for CT4 (Canterbury) is £408,000, from 69 registered sales, down 2% on five years earlier; the mean is £482,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,140 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 8,151 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
CT4 is the postcode district covering Canterbury (Nackington Road, Stuppington), Chartham in Canterbury. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

Today's CT4 prices, from the sold record
The 2026 median for CT4 is £408,000, taken from 69 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £482,800, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
House prices per square metre in CT4

A typical CT4 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical CT4 home went from £77,500 in 1995 to £408,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 142%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CT4 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 2000 (+34.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £625,000 against £175,000 for a flat, 3.6 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +7.4% | +4.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.4% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 167 CT4 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 329 sales a year before the financial crisis and 176 a year over the last five. 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.
The rental side of CT4
CT4 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.
£1,276 a month is £15,312 a year, which against the £408,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
Reading the CT4 market
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. By median price, CT4 presently tops its postcode area.
CT4 (Chartham): the questions that come up
Is CT4 (Chartham) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in CT4 (Chartham)?
Are property prices falling in CT4 (Chartham)?
What happens to CT4 prices now?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 23% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in CT4 now
Everything above is what homes in CT4 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 31 homes currently on the market from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 20% below the CT4 median sold price.
55% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Lavender Cottage, The Row, Elham, Elham
- Ashdown Field, Bolts Hill, Chartham, Chartham
- Howfield Lane, Chartham Hatch, Canter...
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: CT prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the CT area, straight 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%) |
| Terraced | £240,000 | £257,250 (+7%) | £300,000 (+17%) | £389,497 (+30%) | £520,000 (+34%) |
| Flat | £150,000 | £220,000 (+47%) | £300,000 (+36%) | £390,000 (+30%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
The risers and the fallers
