The SS13 median stands at £300,000 for 2026, built from 88 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £307,600, practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.
House prices per square metre in SS13

| 1996 | £39,700 | £83,726 | 348 |
| 1995 | £39,000 | £84,780 | 323 |
In cash terms the typical SS13 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 254%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SS13 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 (+29.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.8%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 46% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £420,000 against £190,000 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.2% | −5.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 206 sales completed in SS13. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 465 sales a year before the financial crisis and 198 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.
The rental side of SS13
SS13 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.
Set against the £300,000 median sold price, £1,410 a month is £16,920 a year, a gross yield of 5.6%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SS: the cost
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £368,000 | £505,000 (+37%) | £699,995 (+39%) | £925,000 (+32%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
