In cash terms the typical ME7 1 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 215%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the ME7 1 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 (+23.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.0%). 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) | +4.3% | +1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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, 54 sales completed in ME7 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 310 sales a year before the financial crisis and 116 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 ME7 1
The local authority for ME7 1 is Medway, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,238 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£1,238 a month is £14,856 a year, which against the £240,000 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.
How ME7 1 trades
Only 54 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ME7 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within ME7, this sector trades 11% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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.
| 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. 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.
