In cash terms the typical RM15 5 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £335,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 221%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RM15 5 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 (+34.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.4%). 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) | −3.6% | −5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +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.
Transaction volumes
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 45 RM15 5 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 193 sales a year before the financial crisis and 133 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 RM15 5 market
This is a thin market: 45 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.
What tenants pay around RM15 5
For renting purposes RM15 5 sits in Thurrock. The ONS average private rent there is £1,366 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £930 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,174, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Thurrock
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £335,000 median sold price, £1,366 a month is £16,392 a year, a gross yield of 4.9%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in RM
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%) |
