In cash terms the typical TN27 home went from £82,500 in 1995 to £460,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 156%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TN27 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 (+25.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−8.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 50% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £682,500 against £240,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.8% | +1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
TN27 recorded 162 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 235 sales a year before the financial crisis and 173 a year over the last five. 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.
What homes rent for around TN27
TN27 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.
Against the £460,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,243 a month (£14,916 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in TN: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TN area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £375,000 | £520,000 (+39%) | £789,950 (+52%) | £1,140,000 (+44%) |

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.
