In cash terms the typical SS14 1 home went from £43,500 in 1995 to £312,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 230%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. 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 SS14 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 (+32.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.4% | −3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in SS14 1
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.
The register shows 37 SS14 1 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 189 sales a year before the financial crisis and 80 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What kind of market SS14 1 is
This is a thin market: 37 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 SS14 1
The local authority for SS14 1 is Basildon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,410 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £972 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,104 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Basildon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £312,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,410 a month (£16,920 a year) works out at a 5.4% 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.

Are property prices falling in SS14 1 (Basildon)?

Bedroom by bedroom: SS prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the SS area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £368,000 | £505,000 (+37%) | £699,995 (+39%) | £925,000 (+32%) |
| Semi-detached | £316,250 | £359,999 (+14%) | £405,000 (+13%) | £501,250 (+24%) | £705,000 (+41%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
