In cash terms the typical CO5 9 home went from £86,000 in 1995 to £475,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 154%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 10% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CO5 9 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 2016 (+37.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−24.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +16.1% | +13.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.7% |
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 CO5 9
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
CO5 9 recorded 36 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 107 sales a year recently, against 116 a year before 2008. 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 rental side of CO5 9
CO5 9 falls under Braintree, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,232 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £863 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,003, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Braintree
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,232 a month is £14,784 a year, which against the £475,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.1%. 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.
What kind of market CO5 9 is
This is a thin market: 36 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. Within CO5, this sector trades 23% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

How much did a house sell for in CO5 9 (Tiptree)?
Are property prices falling in CO5 9 (Tiptree)?
Is CO5 9 (Tiptree) a good place to buy a house?
Will CO5 9 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 14% over five years in cash but down 10% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

What another bedroom costs in CO
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CO area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £315,000 | £430,000 (+37%) | £625,000 (+45%) | £865,000 (+38%) |

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
