The chart tracks the median Mill Wood, Maidstone house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2022 to 2025. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.

The highest yearly median on record for Mill Wood, Maidstone is £260,000 in 2024; the lowest is £215,000 in 2023. Across the full 4-year record the cash median has moved from £256,000 to £240,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £296,598, so the real change over the whole record is -17.3% — about -6.14% 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.

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.

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 Mill Wood, Maidstone values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Mill Wood, Maidstone is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

205 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% 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.

New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +15.1%. 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.

A further 32 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Maidstone, 52.3% of 86,401 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.6% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Maidstone at £1,292 a month as of Jun 2026 — £915 for a one-bedroom home and £1,455 for three bedrooms.

Against the median sale of £249,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.23% 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 ME14, 318 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 88 violent, 10 burglary, 10 vehicle-related and 55 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.9 times busier.

Against the 175,782 residents the 2021 census counted in Maidstone, that is 1.81 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.

The 2021 census counted 175,782 residents in Maidstone across 71,208 households. 69.3% of those households own their home and 30.7% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

11 state and independent schools have a ME14 postcode: 8 primary, 3 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Mill Wood, Maidstone sits above that national figure — +58.1%.

Within Maidstone the street ranks 795 of 1759 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £200,000 (+24.5%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,831 per square metre, across 202 of the 205 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 £194,000 to £300,000. 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.

Mill Wood, Maidstone sits in Maidstone, in the South East.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Maidstone at 10.1 times median local earnings of £36,199 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.
