Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on ME4: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
ME4 sees about 29 sales a month, enough to learn from, though the year-on-year comparison is too thin to quote, so lean on the recent sold homes.
When selling here, £226,000 is only the middle of a market that runs from £137,800 to £475,000, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseFor buyers, on price, ME4 is below the UK average, so find out why prices run lower here before deciding it is good value.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (1,288 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,329 a year); your conveyancer should look at the title too.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free ME4 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Medway (ME4) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £495,000 against £163,750 for flats: about 3.0 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £137,800 and £475,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 29 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled ME4 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 1 to decile 9, with a median of decile 2 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
ME4 5QD, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 2 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 ME4 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in ME4: 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 ME4, band by band
Medway's council tax for 2026-27 set against the ME4 median sold price of £226,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearMedway | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £226,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,552 | £129 | 0.69% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,811 | £151 | 0.80% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,070 | £173 | 0.92% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,329 | £194 | 1.03% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £2,846 | £237 | 1.26% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,363 | £280 | 1.49% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £3,881 | £323 | 1.72% |
| H | over £320,000 | £4,657 | £388 | 2.06% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the ME4 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.
