Maidstone Property Market Update: 2025 Mid-Year Snapshot

As we move into the second half of 2025, the property market in Maidstone continues to show resilience and opportunity — particularly for first-time buyers, investors, and those considering remortgaging. Here’s a quick look at what’s changed, what’s holding steady, and what buyers and homeowners should be aware of going forward.

House Prices: Holding Firm with Modest Growth

Despite wider economic uncertainty, Maidstone’s average property prices have risen by around 2.4% since the start of the year. Detached homes remain in high demand, but the biggest movement has been in the semi-detached and flat/apartment segments — ideal for first-time buyers and landlords.

Rental Market: Strong Yields Attracting Investors

The buy-to-let market in Maidstone remains solid, with rental demand bolstered by professionals relocating from London and students from nearby universities. Average rental yields in central areas range between 4.8% and 6.2%, with many landlords refinancing to release equity or secure better rates.

Remortgage Surge Ahead of Further Rate Changes

With talk of future base rate adjustments from the Bank of England, many Maidstone homeowners are locking in fixed-rate mortgage deals now. If your current deal is expiring within the next 6–12 months, it’s worth exploring your options early to avoid payment shocks.

Local Developments: Growth Areas to Watch

New-build developments in areas like Kings Hill, Bearsted, and near the River Medway are attracting attention. These locations offer modern homes, green space, and great access to transport — all of which are influencing local buyer demand.
