In cash terms the typical TN29 9 home went from £48,200 in 1995 to £260,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 148%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 27% 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 TN29 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 2002 (+32.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−8.9%). 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 years (since 2025) | −2.0% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.6% | −6.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
How many homes change hands in TN29 9
Sales per year, counted
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.
TN29 9 recorded 26 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 137 sales a year before the financial crisis and 62 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 tenants pay around TN29 9
For renting purposes TN29 9 sits in Folkestone and Hythe. The ONS average private rent there is £1,161 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £793 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,699 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Folkestone and Hythe
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,161 a month is £13,932 a year, which against the £260,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. 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.
What kind of market TN29 9 is
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TN29 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within TN29, this sector trades 10% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in TN: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the TN area, straight 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.
