In cash terms the typical ME5 0 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £295,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 202%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the ME5 0 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 2003 (+31.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.7% | −4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 57 sales completed in ME5 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 212 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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.
How ME5 0 trades
This is a thin market: 57 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.
The rental side of ME5 0
For renting purposes ME5 0 sits in Medway. The ONS average private rent there is £1,238 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £900 a month here against £1,835 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Medway
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £295,000 median sold price, £1,238 a month is £14,856 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: 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.

What is for sale in ME5 right now
Turning to what is actually available: 4 homes on the market right now, from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole ME5 district, not just ME5 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 25% 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in ME: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the ME area. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
