In cash terms the typical CT5 2 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £410,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 243%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 27% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CT5 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 2002 (+25.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CT5 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.9% | −11.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 54 CT5 2 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 215 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 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.
The shape of the CT5 2 market
This is a thin market: 54 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.
The rental side of CT5 2
CT5 2 falls under Canterbury, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,276 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £872 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,900, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Canterbury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £410,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,276 a month (£15,312 a year) works out at a 3.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

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. 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.
