Purfleet market report RM19 1
The RM19 1 (Purfleet) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,956 sales registered with HM Land Registry in RM19 1 (Purfleet) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 23 registered 2026 sales put the RM19 1 (Purfleet) median at £223,000, down 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £247,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,080 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,956 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
RM19 1 is one sector of RM19 (Purfleet): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical RM19 1 home went from £34,000 in 1995 to £223,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 202%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RM19 1 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 (+55.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What RM19 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.5% | −5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in RM19 1
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.
RM19 1 recorded 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 283 sales a year before the financial crisis and 72 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 RM19 1
RM19 1 falls under Thurrock, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,366 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £223,000 median sold price, £1,366 a month is £16,392 a year, a gross yield of 7.4%: 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.
How RM19 1 trades
This is a thin market: 23 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.

Moving up a bedroom in RM: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the RM area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
