Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on TN5: a quiet market, so take your time
TN5 is a thin market, at roughly 10 sales a month, so no single figure here should carry much weight, and the individual sold homes are the better guide.
If you are selling, most TN5 sales sit between £225,000 and £1,021,250, which makes £475,000 a blunt instrument, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.
Sell houseIf you are buying, TN5 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (14 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,701 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
Averages only go so far, so the free TN5 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the Rother (TN5) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £777,500 against £314,750 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 £225,000 and £1,021,250, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is a quiet district: only about 10 recorded sales a month.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled TN5 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 9, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
TN5 7HQ, 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 TN5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in TN5: 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 TN5, band by band
Rother's council tax for 2026-27 set against the TN5 median sold price of £475,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearRother | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £475,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,801 | £150 | 0.38% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £2,101 | £175 | 0.44% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,402 | £450 | 1.14% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the TN5 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.
