In cash terms the typical ME7 4 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £272,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 230%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the ME7 4 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 (+29.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What ME7 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.1% | −0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.1% |
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
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.
ME7 4 recorded 36 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 240 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 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.
Reading the ME7 4 market
This is a thin market: 36 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 ME7 4
For renting purposes ME7 4 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.
£1,238 a month is £14,856 a year, which against the £272,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: ME prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the ME area. 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.

| Detached | — | £360,000 | £494,995 (+37%) | £690,997 (+40%) | £920,000 (+33%) |
