In cash terms the typical RM11 1 home went from £76,800 in 1995 to £480,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 188%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RM11 1 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 2015 (+20.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−5.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What RM11 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.1% | −1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in RM11 1
How many homes change hands
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 57 RM11 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 232 sales a year before the financial crisis and 128 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 RM11 1
The local authority for RM11 1 is Havering, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,564 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,215 a month here against £2,497 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Havering
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £480,000 median sold price, £1,564 a month is £18,768 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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.
Reading the RM11 1 market
Only 57 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes RM11 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

These cover the whole RM11 district, not just RM11 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 22% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

Moving up a bedroom in RM: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the RM 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £450,000 | £575,000 (+28%) | £830,000 (+44%) | £1,150,000 (+39%) |
| Semi-detached | £365,000 | £425,000 (+16%) | £485,000 (+14%) | £635,000 (+31%) | £772,500 (+22%) |

| Flat | £222,000 | £280,000 (+26%) | £360,000 (+29%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
