In cash terms the typical RM15 4 home went from £48,200 in 1995 to £377,500 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 260%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the RM15 4 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 (+29.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.4%). 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) | −0.7% | −3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.4% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 52 RM15 4 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 157 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 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.
What tenants pay around RM15 4
The local authority for RM15 4 is Thurrock, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,366 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £930 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,174 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Thurrock
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £377,500 median sold price, £1,366 a month is £16,392 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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.
What kind of market RM15 4 is
Only 52 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes RM15 4 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 RM15 district, not just RM15 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 37% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in RM: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the RM area. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £450,000 | £575,000 (+28%) | £830,000 (+44%) | £1,150,000 (+39%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
