In cash terms the typical ME13 home went from £53,500 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 179%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the ME13 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 (+34.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.5%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £525,000 against £191,200 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

What ME13 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.5% | −10.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.8% | −6.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 387 ME13 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 589 sales a year before the financial crisis and 413 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.
Rents around ME13
For renting purposes ME13 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 £325,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,091 a month (£13,092 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.

Moving up a bedroom in ME: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the ME area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
