Section 02
The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Section 03
Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Chapel Street, Hythe values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Chapel Street, Hythe is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 34 | 57.6% | £175,000 | £22,000 – £285,000 |
| Semi-detached | 14 | 23.7% | £199,500 | £40,000 – £310,000 |
| Detached | 6 | 10.2% | £159,950 | £80,000 – £310,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 5 | 8.5% | £247,500 | £46,000 – £255,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Chapel Street, Hythe
5 of the sales on record are leasehold and 54 freehold — 8.5% 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 £247,500 and the median freehold sale £182,500 — a gap of -26.3%. 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 | 5 | 8.5% | £247,500 |
| Freehold | 54 | 91.5% | £182,500 |
| New build | 4 | 6.8% | £180,000 |
| Existing home | 55 | 93.2% | £185,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -2.7%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

Living in Chapel Street, Hythe
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Folkestone and Hythe, 43.8% of 63,526 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.3% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 288 | 0.5% |
| B | 6,476 | 10.2% |
| C | 21,079 | 33.2% |
| D | 22,910 | 36.1% |
| E | 9,418 | 14.8% |
| F | 2,479 | 3.9% |
| G | 876 | 1.4% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Folkestone and Hythe at £1,172 a month as of Jun 2026 — £801 for a one-bedroom home and £1,278 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £185,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.60% 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 CT21, 66 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 21 violent, 4 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 21 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.5 times quieter.
Against the 109,758 residents the 2021 census counted in Folkestone and Hythe, that is 0.60 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.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Chapel Street, Hythe
The 2021 census counted 109,758 residents in Folkestone and Hythe across 48,337 households. 66.6% of those households own their home and 33.4% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
7 state and independent schools have a CT21 postcode: 6 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Chapel Street, Hythe compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Chapel Street, Hythe sits above that national figure — +17.5%.
Within Hythe the street ranks 170 of 279 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £207,000 (-10.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,141 per square metre, across 21 of the 59 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £22,000 to £310,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Chapel Street, Hythe sits in Folkestone and Hythe, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Folkestone and Hythe at 8.1 times median local earnings of £38,755 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.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Chapel Street, Hythe?

How many homes have sold in Chapel Street, Hythe?
59 sales are on record for Chapel Street, Hythe, the most recent completing on 28 Mar 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
What is the price per square metre in Chapel Street, Hythe?
£3,141 per square metre, from the 21 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 28 Mar 2025. 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.
