In cash terms the typical ME9 9 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £252,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 123%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 36% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the ME9 9 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 2000 (+61.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−16.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What ME9 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −16.0% | −18.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.4% | −6.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in ME9 9
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.
ME9 9 recorded 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 112 sales a year before the financial crisis and 58 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 kind of market ME9 9 is
Only 23 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ME9 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within ME9, this sector trades 28% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around ME9 9
For renting purposes ME9 9 sits in Swale. The ONS average private rent there is £1,091 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £763 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,820 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Swale
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £252,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,091 a month (£13,092 a year) works out at a 5.2% 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.

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.
