In cash terms the typical CT6 6 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £364,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 194%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CT6 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 2003 (+21.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.4%). 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) | +5.6% | +3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +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.
How many homes change hands in CT6 6
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 50 sales completed in CT6 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 249 sales a year before the financial crisis and 145 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.
How CT6 6 trades
This is a thin market: 50 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. Against the CT6 district median, CT6 6 sits 9% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around CT6 6
CT6 6 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.
Against the £364,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,276 a month (£15,312 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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
Real sold prices by size across the CT area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
