In cash terms the typical CO16 8 home went from £49,500 in 1995 to £256,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 138%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CO16 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 2021 (+27.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.8%). 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) | +2.6% | +0.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.7% | −6.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CO16 8
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
CO16 8 recorded 76 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 294 sales a year before the financial crisis and 170 a year over the last five. 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.
Rents around CO16 8
CO16 8 falls under Tendring, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,051 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £757 a month here against £1,585 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Tendring
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,051 a month is £12,612 a year, which against the £256,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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 price of an extra bedroom in CO
Real sold prices by size across the CO 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £315,000 | £430,000 (+37%) | £625,000 (+45%) | £865,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £245,000 | £285,000 (+16%) | £335,000 (+18%) | £420,000 (+25%) | £565,000 (+35%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
