Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on ME9: steady sales, so price from the evidence
Roughly 25 homes a month change hands in ME9, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are selling, most ME9 sales sit between £206,600 and £650,000, which makes £350,000 a blunt instrument, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseIf you are buying, ME9 sits above the UK average for typical prices, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (681 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,503 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free ME9 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Maidstone (ME9) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £540,500 against £175,000 for flats: about 3.1 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £206,600 and £650,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (92%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 25 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled ME9 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 10, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
ME9 9PS, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 5 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

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 ME9 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in ME9: 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 ME9, band by band
Maidstone's council tax for 2026-27 set against the ME9 median sold price of £350,000 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 ME9 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.
