In cash terms the typical SS14 2 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 248%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SS14 2 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 (+33.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SS14 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.6% | −0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
The register shows 41 SS14 2 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 167 sales a year before the financial crisis and 115 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.
Reading the SS14 2 market
This is a thin market: 41 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.
Rents around SS14 2
For renting purposes SS14 2 sits in Basildon. The ONS average private rent there is £1,410 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £972 a month here against £2,104 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Basildon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £325,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,410 a month (£16,920 a year) works out at a 5.2% 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.
