In cash terms the typical CM15 8 home went from £125,500 in 1995 to £700,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 157%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 35% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CM15 8 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 2001 (+36.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2022 (−37.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.4% | −5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.2% | −7.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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.
CM15 8 recorded 40 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 130 sales a year before the financial crisis and 102 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.
The shape of the CM15 8 market
Only 40 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CM15 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 CM15, this sector trades 37% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of CM15 8
For renting purposes CM15 8 sits in Brentwood. The ONS average private rent there is £1,613 a month (May 2026). 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 £700,000 median sold price, £1,613 a month is £19,356 a year, a gross yield of 2.8%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CM: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CM area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
