How Barton Road, Canterbury prices moved
The chart tracks the median Barton Road, Canterbury house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2000 to 2021. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 5 | £160,000 | £291,473 |
| 2010s | 3 | £312,500 | £440,625 |
| 2020s | 1 | £427,500 | £436,793 |
The highest yearly median on record for Barton Road, Canterbury is £427,500 in 2021; the lowest is £106,000 in 2000. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £106,000 to £427,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £212,000, so the real change over the whole record is +154.8% — about +4.55% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +98.8% in cash against +63.9% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Canterbury at £1,279 a month as of Jun 2026 — £875 for a one-bedroom home and £1,366 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £235,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.53% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of CT1, 578 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 193 violent, 5 burglary, 20 vehicle-related and 106 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.5 times busier.
Against the 157,432 residents the 2021 census counted in Canterbury, that is 3.67 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Barton Road, Canterbury sits in Canterbury, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Canterbury at 9.4 times median local earnings of £36,558 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

The latest sale shown here completed on 20 Jan 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
