Kingsnorth market report TN23, Ashford
The standing TN23 (Kingsnorth) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 25,777 registered sales in TN23 (Ashford) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 261 registered 2026 sales put the TN23 (Ashford) median at £300,000, up 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £318,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,650 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 25,777 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
TN23 is the postcode district covering Ashford (town centre), Kingsnorth, Singleton in Ashford. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

In cash terms the typical TN23 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 176%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TN23 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 2000 (+26.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−6.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What TN23 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.7% | −0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £465,000 against £190,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

How many homes change hands in TN23
The year-by-year sales count
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 527 TN23 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 1,158 sales a year before the financial crisis and 556 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.
What homes rent for around TN23
TN23 falls under Ashford, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,243 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £890 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,033 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Ashford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £300,000 median sold price, £1,243 a month is £14,916 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: 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.

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. 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 | — | £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%) |
| Terraced | £265,000 | £310,000 (+17%) | £358,115 (+16%) | £463,497 (+29%) | £703,750 (+52%) |
| Flat | £175,000 | £240,000 (+37%) | £350,000 (+46%) | £570,000 (+63%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
