Kemsing market report TN15, Sevenoaks

The standing TN15 (Kemsing) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 11,829 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in TN15 (Sevenoaks) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: the 2026 median for TN15 (Sevenoaks) is £500,000, from 125 registered sales, up 5% on five years earlier; the mean is £610,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,210 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 11,829 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

The postcode district TN15 covering Kemsing, Ightham, Plaxtol sits in Sevenoaks. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical TN15 home went from £93,500 in 1995 to £500,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 146%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

Year-on-year change in the TN15 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 (+33.1% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−11.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one

A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £787,500 against £225,000 for a flat, 3.5 times the price.

TN15 recorded 265 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 454 sales a year before the financial crisis and 283 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.

Rents around TN15

TN15 falls under Tonbridge and Malling, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,479 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,025 a month here against £2,466 for four or more bedrooms.

£1,479 a month is £17,748 a year, which against the £500,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.

Bedroom by bedroom: TN prices by size

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.

The risers and the fallers

TN15 ranks 19 of 40 in the TN area on five-year growth. The gap between the top and bottom of this chart is the difference between buying well and buying badly in the same city.

Behind the answers sits the same Land Registry record as this page, with TN15 already set as the subject. Free, one click sign in.

Two maps carry on from here: every TN15 sale at its exact address, and the average prices map from area shading down to single homes. The report tool answers a specific question in writing, and each sale's mortgage and rent calculator prices a real purchase.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
