In cash terms the typical TN11 home went from £100,000 in 1995 to £585,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 169%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TN11 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 2010 (+37.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What TN11 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +12.5% | +9.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £900,000 against £221,000 for a flat, 4.1 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
TN11 recorded 132 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 217 sales a year before the financial crisis and 152 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 shape of the TN11 market
This is a thin market: 132 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. 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. TN11 sits 5 of 40 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What homes rent for around TN11
TN11 falls under Tonbridge and Malling, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£1,479 a month is £17,748 a year, which against the £585,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TN area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £375,000 | £520,000 (+39%) | £789,950 (+52%) | £1,140,000 (+44%) |

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.
