In cash terms the typical ME9 7 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £390,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 156%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 16% 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 ME9 7 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 (+31.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−10.7%). 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) | +14.7% | +12.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
Sales activity in ME9 7
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.
The register shows 42 ME9 7 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 125 sales a year before the financial crisis and 83 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 ME9 7
ME9 7 falls under Swale, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,091 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £763 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,820, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Swale
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £390,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,091 a month (£13,092 a year) works out at a 3.4% 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 ME9 7 market
Only 42 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ME9 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the ME9 district median, ME9 7 sits 11% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 8% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

What another bedroom costs in ME
Real sold prices by size across the ME area, straight 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.

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
