In cash terms the typical ME20 7 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £375,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 214%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the ME20 7 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 2004 (+31.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.5%). 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) | −9.6% | −11.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.6% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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, 44 sales completed in ME20 7. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 130 sales a year recently, against 160 a year before 2008. 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.
How ME20 7 trades
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ME20 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
Rents around ME20 7
ME20 7 falls under Tonbridge and Malling, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,479 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,025 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,466 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Tonbridge and Malling
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £375,000 median sold price, £1,479 a month is £17,748 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The price of an extra bedroom in ME
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the ME area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
