In cash terms the typical TN3 home went from £122,800 in 1995 to £691,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 159%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TN3 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 2016 (+26.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−11.7%). 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) | −0.9% | −3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 51% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £965,000 against £226,200 for a flat, 4.3 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
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, 117 sales completed in TN3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 185 sales a year before the financial crisis and 127 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 TN3
The local authority for TN3 is Tunbridge Wells, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,517 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,045 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,440 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Tunbridge Wells
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £691,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,517 a month (£18,204 a year) works out at a 2.6% 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.
How TN3 trades
This is a thin market: 117 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Among the 40 measurable districts of its area, TN3 ranks 2 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.

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%) |
