In cash terms the typical CT5 4 home went from £57,800 in 1995 to £375,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 198%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CT5 4 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 2003 (+28.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−7.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.5% | −7.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CT5 4
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 67 sales completed in CT5 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 250 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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 CT5 4
The local authority for CT5 4 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 £375,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CT area. 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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
