DA13 is the postcode district covering Meopham, Istead Rise, Vigo in Gravesend. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

In cash terms the typical DA13 home went from £84,000 in 1995 to £475,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 160%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DA13 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 1998 (+27.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £650,000 against £220,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −9.5% | −11.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.0% | −3.3% |

| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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 DA13
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 161 sales completed in DA13. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 243 sales a year before the financial crisis and 161 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.
What tenants pay around DA13
The local authority for DA13 is Gravesham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,328 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £904 a month here against £2,069 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Gravesham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £475,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,328 a month (£15,936 a year) works out at a 3.4% 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.
What kind of market DA13 is
DA13 sits 3 of 18 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
DA13 (Meopham): the questions that come up
Is DA13 (Meopham) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in DA13 (Meopham)?
Are property prices falling in DA13 (Meopham)?
Are DA13 prices heading up or down?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 5% over five years in cash but down 17% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
DA13's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in DA13 sold for. The live side of the market holds 2 homes at the moment, listed by an agent publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price level with the DA13 median sold price.
50% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

When homes in DA13 change hands
Take the 963 DA13 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: June completions lead with 11.1% of the total, December trails with 5.9%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

The price of an extra bedroom in DA
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DA 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 | £430,000 | £465,500 (+8%) | £556,250 (+19%) | £670,750 (+21%) | £850,000 (+27%) |
| Semi-detached | £320,000 | £400,000 (+25%) | £450,000 (+13%) | £535,995 (+19%) | £625,000 (+17%) |
| Terraced | £291,000 | £338,500 (+16%) | £378,000 (+12%) | £445,000 (+18%) | £510,000 (+15%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
