Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CT5: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
250 sales since February 2026 make CT5 a steady market, which suits pricing from the latest sold homes better than from any single average or trend.
When selling here, £382,500 is the middle of a £229,600 to £645,100 range, so narrow down to sold homes that match yours before you pick a price; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseFor buyers, typical prices in CT5 sit well above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Do your own homework first: planning history nearby (696 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,419 a year), then hand the title to your conveyancer.
Prices are only part of the picture: the free CT5 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools, and the Report says which deserve your attention.

Median across 12 sampled postcodes; 1 is the most deprived 10% of England, 10 the least.
Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled CT5 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 2 to decile 10, with a median of decile 8 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CT5 3QL, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 8 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 CT5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CT5: 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 CT5, band by band
Canterbury's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CT5 median sold price of £382,500 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÷ £382,500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,613 | £134 | 0.42% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,882 | £157 | 0.49% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,151 | £179 | 0.56% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,419 | £202 | 0.63% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £2,957 | £246 | 0.77% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,495 | £291 | 0.91% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,839 | £403 | 1.27% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CT5 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.
