In cash terms the typical ME4 4 home went from £39,500 in 1995 to £180,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 110%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 47% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

Year-on-year change in the ME4 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 2001 (+90.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2006 (−26.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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 ME4 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.

The register shows 22 ME4 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 98 sales a year over the last five years against 80 before the financial crisis. 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 ME4 4

The local authority for ME4 4 is Medway, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,238 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £900 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,835, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

£1,238 a month is £14,856 a year, which against the £180,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 8.3%. 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.

The shape of the ME4 4 market

Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ME4 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within ME4, this sector trades 28% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What another bedroom costs in ME

Real sold prices by size across the ME area, straight 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.
