Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on ME7: steady sales, so price from the evidence
250 sales since March 2026 make ME7 a steady market, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are thinking of selling, ME7 sales mostly ran from £175,900 to £415,500, so start from the nearest comparable sale and work outwards; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, ME7 sits close to the UK average for typical prices, so hold any asking price up against the sold homes of the same type.
Before an offer goes in on any ME7 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (881 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,503 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Our free ME7 OfferCheck puts the rest of the picture alongside these prices, and the Report explains which parts deserve a second look.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled ME7 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 1 to decile 10, with a median of decile 3 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
ME7 4AE, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 3 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 ME7 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in ME7: 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 ME7, band by band
Maidstone's council tax for 2026-27 set against the ME7 median sold price of £258,500 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearMaidstone | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £258,500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,668 | £139 | 0.65% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,946 | £162 | 0.75% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,005 | £417 | 1.94% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the ME7 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.
