How Acton Road, Whitstable prices moved
The chart tracks the median Acton Road, Whitstable house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2012. 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 | 2 | £47,000 | £104,362 |
| 2000s | 3 | £151,000 | £275,078 |
| 2010s | 1 | £192,500 | £271,425 |
The highest yearly median on record for Acton Road, Whitstable is £192,500 in 2012; the lowest is £47,000 in 1996. Across the full 17-year record the cash median has moved from £47,000 to £192,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £101,954, so the real change over the whole record is +182.0% — about +6.69% 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: +283.1% in cash against +169.9% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Acton Road, Whitstable 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 | 97 | 98.0% | £157,000 | £24,000 – £430,000 |
| Semi-detached | 2 | 2.0% | £135,000 | £135,000 – £150,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Acton Road, Whitstable
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 99 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 99 | 100.0% | £155,000 |
A further 4 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 Canterbury, 45.7% of 79,332 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.9% 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 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 £155,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.90% 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 CT5, 186 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 65 violent, 1 burglary, 7 vehicle-related and 47 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 157,432 residents the 2021 census counted in Canterbury, that is 1.18 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.

How Acton Road, Whitstable compares

Within Whitstable the street ranks 369 of 420 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £210,000 (-26.2%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,166 per square metre, across 26 of the 99 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 £24,000 to £430,000. 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.
Acton Road, Whitstable 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Acton Road, Whitstable?
The median price paid in Acton Road, Whitstable across every sale on the register is £155,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Acton Road, Whitstable?
99 sales are on record for Acton Road, Whitstable, the most recent completing on 10 Oct 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Acton Road, Whitstable house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £192,500, set in 2012. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Acton Road, Whitstable?
£2,166 per square metre, from the 26 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 10 Oct 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.
