In cash terms the typical SS0 home went from £39,500 in 1995 to £322,500 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 276%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SS0 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 (+31.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.0%). 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 flats dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £480,000 against £225,000 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.0% | −0.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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 last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 432 SS0 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 1,321 sales a year before the financial crisis and 497 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around SS0
For renting purposes SS0 sits in Southend-on-Sea. The ONS average private rent there is £1,287 a month (May 2026). 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.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.

Moving up a bedroom in SS: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SS area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
