Warley market report CM14 4, Brentwood

The standing CM14 4 (Warley) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 8,491 registered sales in CM14 4 (Brentwood) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: 65 registered 2026 sales put the CM14 4 (Brentwood) median at £350,000, down 4% on five years earlier, with a mean of £399,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,150 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 8,491 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

CM14 4 is one sector of CM14 (Brentwood): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What CM14 4 homes really sell for

The 2026 median for CM14 4 is £350,000, taken from 65 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £399,400, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

Price per square metre in CM14 4

A square metre of CM14 4 home has cost about £5,150 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving CM14 4 23% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical CM14 4 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 148%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 27% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+27.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−16.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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 CM14 4

The register shows 65 CM14 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 300 sales a year before the financial crisis and 213 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.

The shape of the CM14 4 market

The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within CM14, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Rents around CM14 4

For renting purposes CM14 4 sits in Brentwood. The ONS average private rent there is £1,613 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,102 a month here against £2,402 for four or more bedrooms.

Against the £350,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,613 a month (£19,356 a year) works out at a 5.5% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
