In cash terms the typical RM18 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £332,500 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 303%, 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 11% 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 RM18 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 (+30.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.7%). 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, 50% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £382,500 against £192,500 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

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.
How many homes change hands in RM18
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 last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 129 RM18 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 340 sales a year before the financial crisis and 130 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 RM18 market
This is a thin market: 129 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. In its area's price order RM18 comes 17 of 20, towards the cheaper end of the table.
What homes rent for around RM18
RM18 falls under Thurrock, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,366 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £930 a month here against £2,174 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £332,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.

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.

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

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.
