In cash terms the typical CT6 7 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 189%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CT6 7 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 (+26.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +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
The year-by-year sales count
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.
CT6 7 recorded 83 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 306 sales a year before the financial crisis and 154 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.
Rents around CT6 7
The local authority for CT6 7 is Canterbury, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£1,276 a month is £15,312 a year, which against the £320,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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.

Is CT6 7 (Herne) a good place to buy a house?

Bedroom by bedroom: CT prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the CT area, straight 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.

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
