In cash terms the typical RM12 6 home went from £77,500 in 1995 to £485,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 188%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RM12 6 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 2002 (+24.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−13.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.6% | +4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
RM12 6 recorded 51 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 190 sales a year before the financial crisis and 133 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.
The rental side of RM12 6
RM12 6 falls under Havering, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,564 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,215 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,497, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Havering
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,564 a month is £18,768 a year, which against the £485,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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.
How RM12 6 trades
This is a thin market: 51 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: RM prices by size
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.
