In cash terms the typical TN2 3 home went from £66,500 in 1995 to £375,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 159%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 27% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TN2 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 2010 (+31.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−16.0%). 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) | −0.3% | −2.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 59 sales completed in TN2 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 215 sales a year before the financial crisis and 160 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the TN2 3 market
This is a thin market: 59 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. Against the TN2 district median, TN2 3 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of TN2 3
For renting purposes TN2 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.
£1,517 a month is £18,204 a year, which against the £375,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.

How much did a house sell for in TN2 3 (Pembury)?
Are property prices falling in TN2 3 (Pembury)?

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. 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.

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

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
