In cash terms the typical SS11 8 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £402,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 209%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SS11 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 2000 (+22.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.9%). 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) | +8.5% | +6.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 68 sales completed in SS11 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 226 sales a year before the financial crisis and 138 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 SS11 8
For renting purposes SS11 8 sits in Basildon. The ONS average private rent there is £1,410 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £972 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,104, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Basildon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £402,500 median sold price, £1,410 a month is £16,920 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in SS
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SS 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.
