In cash terms the typical TN2 4 home went from £76,800 in 1995 to £417,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 150%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TN2 4 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 1998 (+24.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−15.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −15.8% | −17.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.8% | −6.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −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.
Sales activity in TN2 4
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, 45 sales completed in TN2 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 174 sales a year before the financial crisis and 105 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.
What homes rent for around TN2 4
For renting purposes TN2 4 sits in Tunbridge Wells. The ONS average private rent there is £1,517 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,045 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,440, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Tunbridge Wells
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £417,000 median sold price, £1,517 a month is £18,204 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
Reading the TN2 4 market
This is a thin market: 45 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. 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.

How much did a house sell for in TN2 4 (Pembury)?
Are property prices falling in TN2 4 (Pembury)?
Is TN2 4 (Pembury) a good place to buy a house?
Will TN2 4 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 9% over five years in cash but down 28% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in TN2 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 55 homes currently on the market from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole TN2 district, not just TN2 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
22% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in TN: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the TN area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
