How Riverside Close, Canterbury prices moved
The chart tracks the median Riverside Close, Canterbury house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2022. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £63,000 | £139,890 |
| 2000s | 6 | £127,500 | £232,267 |
| 2010s | 6 | £220,000 | £310,200 |
| 2020s | 1 | £310,000 | £316,739 |
The highest yearly median on record for Riverside Close, Canterbury is £310,000 in 2022; the lowest is £48,500 in 1999. Across the full 28-year record the cash median has moved from £63,000 to £310,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £139,890, so the real change over the whole record is +156.7% — about +3.55% 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: +26.0% in cash against -2.3% 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.

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Riverside Close, Canterbury
78 of the sales on record are leasehold and 70 freehold — 52.7% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £109,500 and the median freehold sale £269,750 — a gap of +146.3%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 78 | 52.7% | £109,500 |
| Freehold | 70 | 47.3% | £269,750 |
