Year-on-year change in the TN12 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 2001 (+31.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−19.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

How many homes change hands in TN12 9
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 34 TN12 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 65 sales a year recently, against 79 a year before 2008. 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 homes rent for around TN12 9
TN12 9 falls under Maidstone, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,290 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £914 a month here against £1,962 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Maidstone
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £513,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,290 a month (£15,480 a year) works out at a 3.0% 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.
Reading the TN12 9 market
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TN12 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 TN12, this sector trades 24% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
