Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on ME5: steady sales, so price from the evidence
ME5 sees about 50 sales a month, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are selling, ME5 buyers have mostly paid between £206,900 and £440,200, so find the sold homes closest to yours and price against those; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseIf you are buying, on price, ME5 is above the UK average, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.
Before an offer goes in on any ME5 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (576 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,503 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Next step: the free ME5 OfferCheck, which sets flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools next to these prices, with every source named.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled ME5 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 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.
ME5 9GJ, 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 ME5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in ME5: 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 ME5, band by band
Maidstone's council tax for 2026-27 set against the ME5 median sold price of £300,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearMaidstone | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £300,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,668 | £139 | 0.56% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,946 | £162 | 0.65% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,225 | £185 | 0.74% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,503 | £209 | 0.83% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £3,059 | £255 | 1.02% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,615 | £301 | 1.21% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £4,171 | £348 | 1.39% |
| H | over £320,000 | £5,005 | £417 | 1.67% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the ME5 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.
