| 1996 | £80,000 | £168,716 | 549 |
| 1995 | £74,000 | £160,865 | 441 |
In cash terms the typical TN2 home went from £74,000 in 1995 to £430,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 167%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TN2 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 2015 (+24.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−19.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −4.2% | −6.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.2% | −6.7% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | −0.8% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 28% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £770,000 against £295,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
TN2 recorded 338 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 630 sales a year before the financial crisis and 441 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.
The rental side of TN2
For renting purposes TN2 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.
Against the £430,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,517 a month (£18,204 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.

Where do TN2 prices go next?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is down 10% over five years in cash but down 29% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
TN2's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in TN2 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 33 homes currently on the market from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 10% above the TN2 median sold price.
Set against 338 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 33 homes on the market here are roughly 5 weeks of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted. That is a thin shelf: buyers here are choosing from little, and a well priced home is unlikely to wait long.
Of everything listed here, 12% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

- Apartment 3, The Ridgeway, 32 Broadwater Down, Tunbridge Wells
- Clarendon Way, Tunbridge Wells
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

Listed against sold: the TN2 mix
Sellers of detached homes in TN2 have company: 50% of current listings against 25% of recent sales. When a type is offered faster than it sells, the buyer usually holds the better hand.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 50% | 25% |
| Semi-detached | 20% | 23% |
| Terraced | 0% | 22% |
| Flats | 30% | 30% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares (5 here).
Month by month: when TN2 sells
June is when TN2 changes hands most (12.8% of the 2,859 sales dated 2021 to 2025); December is the quiet end at 6.4%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 205 | 7.2% |
| February | 222 | 7.8% |
| March | 308 | 10.8% |
| April | 221 | 7.7% |

The price of an extra bedroom in TN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the TN area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £356,000 | £412,500 (+16%) | £480,000 (+16%) | £610,000 (+27%) | £841,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £285,250 | £335,000 (+17%) | £387,500 (+16%) | £500,000 (+29%) | £649,000 (+30%) |
| Terraced | £255,000 | £300,000 (+18%) | £335,000 (+12%) | £430,000 (+28%) | £567,500 (+32%) |
| Flat | £165,000 | £220,000 (+33%) | £299,225 (+36%) | £397,475 (+33%) | £550,000 (+38%) |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
