Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on TN31: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
TN31 is neither busy nor quiet, at about 20 sales a month, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.
For sellers, the spread in TN31 is wide, with most sales between £216,800 and £706,000, 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, typical prices in TN31 sit well above the UK average, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
Do your own homework first: planning history nearby (10 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,539 a year), then hand the title to your conveyancer.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free TN31 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Folkestone and Hythe (TN31) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £514,000 against £202,500 for flats: about 2.5 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £216,800 and £706,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (93%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 20 recorded sales a month.

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.

Across the 12 sampled TN31 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 1 to decile 7, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
TN31 6EU, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 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 TN31 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in TN31: 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 TN31, band by band
Folkestone and Hythe's council tax for 2026-27 set against the TN31 median sold price of £365,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearFolkestone and Hythe | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £365,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,693 | £141 | 0.46% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,975 | £165 | 0.54% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,078 | £423 | 1.39% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the TN31 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.
