In cash terms the typical CM12 9 home went from £82,000 in 1995 to £475,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 166%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 30% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CM12 9 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 2002 (+41.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−12.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −12.0% | −14.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.3% | −6.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.4% | −2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
CM12 9 recorded 51 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 171 sales a year before the financial crisis and 115 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Rents around CM12 9
CM12 9 falls under Basildon, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,410 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £972 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,104 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Basildon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £475,000 median sold price, £1,410 a month is £16,920 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.
The shape of the CM12 9 market
Only 51 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CM12 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CM: the cost
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
