In cash terms the typical ME7 2 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £280,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 186%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 18% 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 ME7 2 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 (+25.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What ME7 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.1% | −7.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
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, 49 sales completed in ME7 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 269 sales a year before the financial crisis and 128 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.
What homes rent for around ME7 2
ME7 2 falls under Medway, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £280,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,238 a month (£14,856 a year) works out at a 5.3% 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 ME7 2 market
This is a thin market: 49 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.

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.
