In cash terms the typical TN1 2 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £393,200 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 235%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TN1 2 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 2001 (+33.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.9%). 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) | +9.2% | +6.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 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.
How many homes change hands in TN1 2
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 64 sales completed in TN1 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 257 sales a year before the financial crisis and 120 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 TN1 2
TN1 2 falls under Tunbridge Wells, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,517 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,045 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,440 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,517 a month is £18,204 a year, which against the £393,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

The price of an extra bedroom in TN
Real sold prices by size across the TN area, straight 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.
