| 1995 | £63,000 | £136,952 | 263 |
In cash terms the typical RM6 4 home went from £63,000 in 1995 to £435,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 218%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RM6 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 2001 (+51.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.6% | +1.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
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 36 RM6 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 379 sales a year before the financial crisis and 82 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 RM6 4
For renting purposes RM6 4 sits in Redbridge. The ONS average private rent there is £1,725 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,365 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,714, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Redbridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £435,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,725 a month (£20,700 a year) works out at a 4.8% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How RM6 4 trades
Only 36 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes RM6 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

What another bedroom costs in RM
What homes of each size actually sold for across the RM area, 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
