In cash terms the typical SS0 8 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £330,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 245%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SS0 8 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 (+46.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−25.0%). 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) | +3.5% | +1.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
Sales activity in SS0 8
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 53 SS0 8 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 264 sales a year before the financial crisis and 101 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.
The shape of the SS0 8 market
This is a thin market: 53 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What homes rent for around SS0 8
SS0 8 falls under Southend-on-Sea, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,287 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £865 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,839, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Southend-on-Sea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £330,000 median sold price, £1,287 a month is £15,444 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SS prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SS area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £368,000 | £505,000 (+37%) | £699,995 (+39%) | £925,000 (+32%) |
| Semi-detached | £316,250 | £359,999 (+14%) | £405,000 (+13%) | £501,250 (+24%) | £705,000 (+41%) |

| Flat | £190,000 | £245,000 (+29%) | £340,000 (+39%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
