| 1995 | £62,800 | £136,518 | 102 |
In cash terms the typical RM6 6 home went from £62,800 in 1995 to £419,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 207%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the RM6 6 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 2000 (+25.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.1%). 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) | −7.9% | −10.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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 RM6 6
How many homes change hands
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 30 RM6 6 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 199 sales a year before the financial crisis and 69 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What tenants pay around RM6 6
The local authority for RM6 6 is Barking and Dagenham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,690 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,371 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,507 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Barking and Dagenham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £419,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,690 a month (£20,280 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.
The shape of the RM6 6 market
This is a thin market: 30 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 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 | — | £450,000 | £575,000 (+28%) | £830,000 (+44%) | £1,150,000 (+39%) |
| Semi-detached | £365,000 | £425,000 (+16%) | £485,000 (+14%) | £635,000 (+31%) | £772,500 (+22%) |

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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
