SS13 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SS13 (Basildon). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical SS13 1 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £294,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 276%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SS13 1 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 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.5%). 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) | +1.4% | −1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.3% |
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 SS13 1
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 42 sales completed in SS13 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 242 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 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.
What kind of market SS13 1 is
This is a thin market: 42 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 rental side of SS13 1
SS13 1 falls under Basildon, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£1,410 a month is £16,920 a year, which against the £294,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.8%. 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.

How much did a house sell for in SS13 1 (Pitsea)?
Are property prices falling in SS13 1 (Pitsea)?
Will SS13 1 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 19% over five years in cash but down 6% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

What another bedroom costs in SS
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
