In cash terms the typical ME10 4 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £300,000 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. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the ME10 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 2022 (+32.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−11.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What ME10 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in ME10 4
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 43 sales completed in ME10 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 179 sales a year before the financial crisis and 117 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.
What tenants pay around ME10 4
For renting purposes ME10 4 sits in Swale. The ONS average private rent there is £1,091 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £763 a month here against £1,820 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Swale
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £300,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,091 a month (£13,092 a year) works out at a 4.4% 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.
How ME10 4 trades
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ME10 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

How much did a house sell for in ME10 4 (Kemsley)?
Are property prices falling in ME10 4 (Kemsley)?
Are ME10 4 prices heading up or down?

Moving up a bedroom in ME: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the ME area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £360,000 | £494,995 (+37%) | £690,997 (+40%) | £920,000 (+33%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
