Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for Willicombe Park, Tunbridge Wells is £390,000 in 2023; the lowest is £145,000 in 1999. Across the full 27-year record the cash median has moved from £145,000 to £360,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £295,448, so the real change over the whole record is +24.5% — about +0.85% 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: +38.5% in cash against +0.3% 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.

Ownership and new build in Willicombe Park, Tunbridge Wells

308 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.

CategorySalesShareMedian paid

Freehold00.0%
New build7725.0%£197,000
Existing home23175.0%£300,000
Shares are of the sales used on this page.

New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -34.3%. 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 2 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.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Tonbridge and Malling at £1,481 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,026 for a one-bedroom home and £1,616 for three bedrooms.

Against the median sale of £270,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.58% 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 TN2, 203 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 74 violent, 4 burglary, 7 vehicle-related and 43 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.2 times busier.

Against the 132,201 residents the 2021 census counted in Tonbridge and Malling, that is 1.54 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.
