| 1996 | £98,000 | £206,678 | 456 |
| 1995 | £82,500 | £179,342 | 381 |
In cash terms the typical CM15 home went from £82,500 in 1995 to £510,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 184%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CM15 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 (+21.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−15.6%). 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) | −5.5% | −7.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £760,000 against £290,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

How many homes change hands in CM15
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 302 CM15 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 474 sales a year before the financial crisis and 320 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around CM15
For renting purposes CM15 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Brentwood
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,613 a month is £19,356 a year, which against the £510,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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. 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%) |
| Terraced | £292,000 | £335,000 (+15%) | £380,000 (+13%) | £492,500 (+30%) | £700,000 (+42%) |
| Flat | £202,000 | £280,000 (+39%) | £385,000 (+38%) | — | — |
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.
