Each mark is a postcode's centre point as ONS gives it, not a building. Press one to see its postcode and open its page. A dashed outline shows where 5 or more lie within 150 metres of each other. It is not a boundary, and no boundary is drawn. Where marks overlap, the one first in the key is drawn; the counts include every postcode.

What broadband can you get in CT2?

Postcodes where some cannot get decent broadband2 of 737

Ofcom gives each postcode's share of homes and businesses, not how many there are, so these count postcodes. Each postcode page has its own figures. A provider's checker answers for one address.

Is CT2 at risk of flooding?

68 of the 767 postcodes in CT2 have a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, the Environment Agency says. At those, it puts 437 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 68 of 767 postcodes High: 311Medium: 126Low: 166

High: 3.3% or more a year (1 in 30). Medium: 1% to 3.3% a year. Low: 0.1% to 1% a year. Very low: under 0.1% a year (1 in 1,000). Each band is the chance of flooding in any one year.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.

What do homes sell for in CT2?

Homes in CT2 sold for a typical £315,000 in the 12 months to September 2026, across 285 sales, HM Land Registry's figures show. The 12 months before gave £331,250 from 366 sales: not a change larger than chance would explain, given which homes happened to sell.

£315,000 typical price, the 12 months to September 2026
£331,250 12 months to September 2025
  • Detached £526,250 60 sales
  • Semi-detached £328,000 90 sales
  • Terraced £285,000 93 sales
  • Flat or maisonette £190,500 42 sales

Each bar is that kind's typical price, against the most expensive kind here.

Standard sales of homes at market value. A typical price is the median, the middle sale. Sales take weeks to be registered, so the last month or two are incomplete. Each postcode page gives the figure for its own postcode sector.
