In cash terms the typical SS0 7 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £250,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 229%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. 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 SS0 7 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 (+27.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SS0 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.8% | −4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SS0 7
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.
SS0 7 recorded 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 381 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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.
Rents around SS0 7
The local authority for SS0 7 is Southend-on-Sea, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,287 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £865 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,839 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Southend-on-Sea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,287 a month is £15,444 a year, which against the £250,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.2%. 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.
Reading the SS0 7 market
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SS0 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the SS0 district median, SS0 7 sits 22% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: SS prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SS 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.
