| 1996 | £64,000 | £134,973 | 299 |
| 1995 | £62,500 | £135,865 | 272 |
In cash terms the typical SS11 home went from £62,500 in 1995 to £395,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 191%: 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 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SS11 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 2002 (+26.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.0% | −1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £562,500 against £227,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

How many homes change hands in SS11
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 219 sales completed in SS11. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 367 sales a year before the financial crisis and 273 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.
What tenants pay around SS11
The local authority for SS11 is Basildon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,410 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £395,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,410 a month (£16,920 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SS prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SS area. 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.
