House Prices in Aylesford, Kent

# Aylesford Property Market Summary

Aylesford's property market displays considerable volatility, with average prices experiencing dramatic fluctuations over recent years. The market peaked in 2021 at approximately £763,281 before declining to around £393,840 in 2024. The current average price of £272,359 across 5,806 properties suggests a mixed housing stock, though recent transaction data (2024-2025) indicates average sale prices remain substantially higher, between £393,840 and £437,017. This discrepancy likely reflects a combination of older, lower-value properties in the overall stock alongside more recent, higher-value transactions.

The market has shown signs of cooling from its 2020-2021 highs, with prices moderating through 2022-2024. Transaction volumes have remained relatively robust, with 417 sales in 2024 representing one of the higher activity levels in the period reviewed. Located in Kent, Aylesford benefits from its strategic position near Maidstone and good transport links to London, making it attractive to commuters. The area offers a blend of period properties and modern developments, though the significant price variations year-on-year suggest the market may be sensitive to broader economic conditions and the specific mix of property types changing hands in any given period.
