In cash terms the typical TN28 8 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £335,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 170%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TN28 8 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 (+24.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.4%). 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) | −3.6% | −5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 67 sales completed in TN28 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 219 sales a year before the financial crisis and 129 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 TN28 8
The local authority for TN28 8 is Folkestone and Hythe, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,161 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £793 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,699, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Folkestone and Hythe
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £335,000 median sold price, £1,161 a month is £13,932 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in TN
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.
