| 1995 | £79,500 | £172,821 | 90 |
In cash terms the typical CT5 3 home went from £79,500 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 146%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CT5 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 2000 (+26.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−29.3%). 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) | +25.0% | +22.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.8% | −6.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
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, 45 sales completed in CT5 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 180 sales a year before the financial crisis and 96 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.
What kind of market CT5 3 is
Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CT5 3 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.
The rental side of CT5 3
The local authority for CT5 3 is Canterbury, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £425,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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.

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. 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.
