In cash terms the typical ME6 5 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £288,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 150%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 27% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the ME6 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 2003 (+24.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.8%). 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) | −9.8% | −11.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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, 70 sales completed in ME6 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 239 sales a year before the financial crisis and 157 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 ME6 5
For renting purposes ME6 5 sits in Tonbridge and Malling. The ONS average private rent there is £1,479 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,025 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,466, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Tonbridge and Malling
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,479 a month is £17,748 a year, which against the £288,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.2%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in ME
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.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
