In cash terms the typical TN1 1 home went from £49,500 in 1995 to £690,000 in 2026, roughly 14 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 541%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the TN1 1 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 2026 (+116.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−25.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +116.6% | +111.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +12.4% | +7.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +8.3% | +4.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +5.8% | +2.9% |
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.
Sales activity in TN1 1
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 25 TN1 1 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 178 sales a year before the financial crisis and 80 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 TN1 1 market
This is a thin market: 25 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 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. Against the TN1 district median, TN1 1 sits 67% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of TN1 1
TN1 1 falls under Tunbridge Wells, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,517 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,045 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,440, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Tunbridge Wells
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £690,000 median sold price, £1,517 a month is £18,204 a year, a gross yield of 2.6%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in TN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the TN 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.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
