In cash terms the typical ME4 5 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £236,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 239%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the ME4 5 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 (+27.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−19.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What ME4 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.9% | +2.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +0.9% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 34 sales completed in ME4 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 423 sales a year before the financial crisis and 111 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 homes rent for around ME4 5
For renting purposes ME4 5 sits in Medway. The ONS average private rent there is £1,238 a month (May 2026). 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Medway
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £236,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,238 a month (£14,856 a year) works out at a 6.3% 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 ME4 5 market
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ME4 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

These cover the whole ME4 district, not just ME4 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 17% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: ME prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the ME area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
