In cash terms the typical ME7 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £268,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 201%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. 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 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 (+27.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.0% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 65% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £492,500 against £188,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

How many homes change hands in ME7
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 456 ME7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,231 sales a year before the financial crisis and 484 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 shape of the ME7 market
Among the 20 measurable districts of its area, ME7 ranks 18 by median price: towards the affordable end.
What homes rent for around ME7
ME7 falls under Medway, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,238 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £268,500 median sold price, £1,238 a month is £14,856 a year, a gross yield of 5.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in ME: the cost
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.

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

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.
