In cash terms the typical CT7 0 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £332,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 183%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CT7 0 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 (+26.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−15.8%). 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) | +9.0% | +6.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.7% |
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.
Sales activity in CT7 0
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.
CT7 0 recorded 14 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 88 sales a year before the financial crisis and 50 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 CT7 0 market
Only 14 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CT7 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
Rents around CT7 0
The local authority for CT7 0 is Thanet, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,109 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £766 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,669, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Thanet
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £332,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,109 a month (£13,308 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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. 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.
