In cash terms the typical TN11 9 home went from £92,000 in 1995 to £635,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 218%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TN11 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 1997 (+35.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−22.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.1% | +1.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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 26 TN11 9 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 103 sales a year before the financial crisis and 75 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.
The shape of the TN11 9 market
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TN11 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. Against the TN11 district median, TN11 9 sits 9% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around TN11 9
The local authority for TN11 9 is Tonbridge and Malling, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,479 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,025 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,466 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Tonbridge and Malling
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £635,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,479 a month (£17,748 a year) works out at a 2.8% 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 price of an extra bedroom 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £375,000 | £520,000 (+39%) | £789,950 (+52%) | £1,140,000 (+44%) |
