In cash terms the typical RM15 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £360,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 231%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RM15 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 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−12.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 44% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £490,000 against £202,500 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
RM15 recorded 293 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 545 sales a year before the financial crisis and 313 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 kind of market RM15 is
In its area's price order RM15 comes 16 of 20, towards the cheaper end of the table.
The rental side of RM15
For renting purposes RM15 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.
£1,366 a month is £16,392 a year, which against the £360,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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.

When homes in RM15 change hands
Across the 1,879 sales completed in RM15 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (10.9% of the total) and May the quietest (6.1%). The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

What another bedroom costs in RM
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the RM area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £410,000 | £450,000 (+10%) | £500,000 (+11%) | £595,000 (+19%) | £763,750 (+28%) |
| Semi-detached | £365,000 | £415,000 (+14%) | £460,000 (+11%) | £568,000 (+23%) | £711,000 (+25%) |
| Terraced | £285,000 | £360,000 (+26%) | £400,000 (+11%) | £450,000 (+13%) | £512,000 (+14%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
