The raw material for this page is 4,126 HM Land Registry entries for CM19 4 (Harlow), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 32 registered 2026 sales put the CM19 4 (Harlow) median at £364,300, up 23% on five years earlier, with a mean of £382,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,010 per square metre over the last five years.

In cash terms the typical CM19 4 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £364,300 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 216%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 4% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CM19 4 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 2003 (+23.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−5.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CM19 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.1% | +1.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.7% | +1.8% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 32 sales completed in CM19 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 181 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 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.
How CM19 4 trades
This is a thin market: 32 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.
What homes rent for around CM19 4
The local authority for CM19 4 is Harlow, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,517 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,019 a month here against £2,196 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Harlow
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £364,300 median purchase price, a rent of £1,517 a month (£18,204 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.

Of everything listed here, 18% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
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.

Moving up a bedroom in CM: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the CM area, straight 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.
