Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CT7: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
250 sales since July 2025 make CT7 a steady market, which suits pricing from the latest sold homes better than from any single average or trend.
For sellers, detached homes typically sold for £440,000 against £182,500 for flats, which explains a spread of £157,125 to £521,000, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseWhen buying here, CT7 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 (142 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.
Averages only go so far, so the free CT7 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the Canterbury (CT7) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £440,000 against £182,500 for flats: about 2.4 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £157,125 and £521,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 19 recorded sales a month.

These are Canterbury's charges for 2026-27, the authority CT7 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled CT7 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 7, with a median of decile 4 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CT7 9DP, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 4 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 CT7 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CT7: 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.

What it costs to run a home in CT7, band by band
Canterbury's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CT7 median sold price of £310,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CT7 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.
