In cash terms the typical RM11 3 home went from £83,000 in 1995 to £495,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 174%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RM11 3 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 2003 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.8%). 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) | −4.8% | −7.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +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.
Sales activity in RM11 3
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 59 sales completed in RM11 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 193 sales a year before the financial crisis and 123 a year over the last five. 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.
Reading the RM11 3 market
Only 59 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes RM11 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around RM11 3
The local authority for RM11 3 is Havering, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,564 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,215 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,497 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Havering
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £495,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,564 a month (£18,768 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in RM: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the RM area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
