In cash terms the typical RM7 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £420,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 222%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RM7 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 2016 (+26.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.9%). 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 £557,500 against £256,000 for a flat, 2.2 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.
Sales activity in RM7
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
RM7 recorded 292 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 603 sales a year before the financial crisis and 301 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 RM7
RM7 falls under Havering, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,564 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,215 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,497, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Havering
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £420,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,564 a month (£18,768 a year) works out at a 4.5% 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.

Are property prices falling in RM7 (Rush Green)?
Is RM7 (Rush Green) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in RM7 (Rush Green)?
Will RM7 prices rise from here?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in RM: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the RM area. 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £330,000 | £380,000 (+15%) | £435,000 (+14%) | £527,750 (+21%) | £662,500 (+26%) |
| Flat | £222,000 | £280,000 (+26%) | £360,000 (+29%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
