In cash terms the typical ME13 8 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 194%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 31% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the ME13 8 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 (+37.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.7%). 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) | −13.5% | −15.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.6% | −7.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
How many homes change hands in ME13 8
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 98 sales completed in ME13 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 248 sales a year before the financial crisis and 182 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 ME13 8 market
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
Rents around ME13 8
For renting purposes ME13 8 sits in Swale. The ONS average private rent there is £1,091 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £763 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,820, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Swale
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,091 a month is £13,092 a year, which against the £320,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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.

What another bedroom costs 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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
