In cash terms the typical CM22 6 home went from £84,800 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 131%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 26% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CM22 6 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 2007 (+27.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.6%). 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) | −6.6% | −8.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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 CM22 6
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 register shows 43 CM22 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 147 sales a year recently, against 135 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.
What tenants pay around CM22 6
CM22 6 falls under Uttlesford, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,283 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £900 a month here against £2,028 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Uttlesford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £425,000 median sold price, £1,283 a month is £15,396 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.
The shape of the CM22 6 market
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CM22 6 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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CM area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £417,500 | £550,000 (+32%) | £785,000 (+43%) | £1,137,500 (+45%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
