In cash terms the typical ME11 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 229%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the ME11 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 (+27.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.7% | +6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.6% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 59% of the typed total. In 2018, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £250,000 against £84,500 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Sales activity in ME11
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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 38 sales completed in ME11. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 74 sales a year before the financial crisis and 37 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.
What tenants pay around ME11
ME11 falls under Swale, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,091 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £250,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,091 a month (£13,092 a year) works out at a 5.2% 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.
The shape of the ME11 market
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ME11 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. In its area's price order ME11 comes 19 of 20, towards the cheaper end of the table.

The price of an extra bedroom in ME
What homes of each size actually sold for across the ME area, 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £282,000 | £327,000 (+16%) | £385,000 (+18%) | £475,000 (+23%) | £615,000 (+29%) |

| Flat | £166,500 | £225,000 (+35%) | £340,000 (+51%) | — | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
