In cash terms the typical TN27 9 home went from £77,000 in 1995 to £419,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 150%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TN27 9 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−8.6%). 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) | −0.8% | −3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in TN27 9
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 34 TN27 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 91 sales a year recently, against 87 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the TN27 9 market
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TN27 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the TN27 district median, TN27 9 sits 9% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of TN27 9
For renting purposes TN27 9 sits in Maidstone. The ONS average private rent there is £1,290 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £914 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,962 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Maidstone
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,290 a month is £15,480 a year, which against the £419,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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.

On the market in TN27 today
Turning to what is actually available: 251 homes on the market right now, from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole TN27 district, not just TN27 9: live asking prices are collected per district.

What another bedroom costs in TN
Real sold prices by size across the TN area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
