In cash terms the typical CM11 1 home went from £105,500 in 1995 to £680,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 197%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CM11 1 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+34.0% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−16.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.0% | −11.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in CM11 1
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 35 sales completed in CM11 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 148 sales a year before the financial crisis and 80 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around CM11 1
CM11 1 falls under Basildon, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,410 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £972 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,104, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Basildon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £680,000 median sold price, £1,410 a month is £16,920 a year, a gross yield of 2.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
Reading the CM11 1 market
This is a thin market: 35 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within CM11, this sector trades 49% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

The price of an extra bedroom in CM
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CM area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £417,500 | £550,000 (+32%) | £785,000 (+43%) | £1,137,500 (+45%) |
| Semi-detached | £325,000 | £370,000 (+14%) | £447,500 (+21%) | £575,000 (+28%) | £780,000 (+36%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
