In cash terms the typical CM13 3 home went from £92,500 in 1995 to £515,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 156%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CM13 3 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 (+25.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−13.8%). 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) | +2.9% | +0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in CM13 3
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 31 CM13 3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 117 sales a year recently, against 115 a year before 2008. 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.
The rental side of CM13 3
The local authority for CM13 3 is Brentwood, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,613 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,102 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,402 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Brentwood
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £515,000 median sold price, £1,613 a month is £19,356 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: 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 CM13 3 market
Only 31 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CM13 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Bedroom by bedroom: CM prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CM area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
