In cash terms the typical TN29 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 157%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TN29 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 (+36.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.4%). 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, 43% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £356,000 against £162,000 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

What TN29 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.3% | −5.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.7% | −5.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 142 sales completed in TN29. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 301 sales a year before the financial crisis and 156 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
How TN29 trades
This is a thin market: 142 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. In its area's price order TN29 comes 36 of 40, towards the cheaper end of the table.
What tenants pay around TN29
TN29 falls under Folkestone and Hythe, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £290,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,161 a month (£13,932 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
