In cash terms the typical TN17 3 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 34% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TN17 3 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 1999 (+43.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−25.5%). 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) | −25.5% | −27.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.5% | −7.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 15 TN17 3 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 76 sales a year before the financial crisis and 56 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 TN17 3
For renting purposes TN17 3 sits in Tunbridge Wells. The ONS average private rent there is £1,517 a month (May 2026). 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Tunbridge Wells
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £325,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,517 a month (£18,204 a year) works out at a 5.6% 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.
What kind of market TN17 3 is
Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TN17 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the TN17 district median, TN17 3 sits 24% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in TN: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TN area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £375,000 | £520,000 (+39%) | £789,950 (+52%) | £1,140,000 (+44%) |
| Semi-detached | £280,000 | £340,000 (+21%) | £415,000 (+22%) | £580,000 (+40%) | £750,000 (+29%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
