In cash terms the typical ME7 5 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 198%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the ME7 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 2002 (+32.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.9%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in ME7 5
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
ME7 5 recorded 33 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 246 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 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.
The rental side of ME7 5
For renting purposes ME7 5 sits in Medway. The ONS average private rent there is £1,238 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £900 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,835 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Medway
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £240,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,238 a month (£14,856 a year) works out at a 6.2% 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.
What kind of market ME7 5 is
This is a thin market: 33 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. Against the ME7 district median, ME7 5 sits 11% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What another bedroom costs in ME
What homes of each size actually sold for across the ME area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
