In cash terms the typical CM6 4 home went from £375,000 in 2016 to £435,000 in 2026, a 16% rise. Strip out inflation and it is actually a fall of about 17%: a typical home here costs less in real terms than it did in 2016. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 43% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CM6 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 2019 (+47.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−22.4%). 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) | −7.4% | −9.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.3% | −9.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.9% |
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, 9 sales completed in CM6 4. 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 CM6 4 market
Only 9 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CM6 4 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.
What tenants pay around CM6 4
The local authority for CM6 4 is Uttlesford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,283 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £900 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,028, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Uttlesford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £435,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,283 a month (£15,396 a year) works out at a 3.5% 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.

What you could buy in CM6 now

Of everything listed here, 30% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.

The price of an extra bedroom in CM
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.

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

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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
