Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CT3: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
250 sales since September 2025 make CT3 a steady market, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.
For sellers, £224,500 to £650,000 is what most CT3 buyers have actually paid, so the real question is where in it your home sits; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseWhen buying here, CT3 sits above the UK average for typical prices, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (285 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,419 a year); your conveyancer should look at the title too.
Our free CT3 OfferCheck puts the rest of the picture alongside these prices, and the Report explains which parts deserve a second look.

- Nearly all of these sales (94%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 23 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled CT3 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 2 to decile 7, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CT3 3FH, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so CT3 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CT3: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in CT3, band by band
Canterbury's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CT3 median sold price of £313,500 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearCanterbury | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £313,500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,613 | £134 | 0.51% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,882 | £157 | 0.60% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,151 | £179 | 0.69% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,419 | £202 | 0.77% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £2,957 | £246 | 0.94% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,495 | £291 | 1.11% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £4,032 | £336 | 1.29% |
| H | over £320,000 | £4,839 | £403 | 1.54% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CT3 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
