| 1996 | £42,200 | £88,998 | 256 |
| 1995 | £43,000 | £93,475 | 270 |
In cash terms the typical SS14 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 248%, 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 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SS14 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 (+34.1% 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.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.3% | −2.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 68% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £438,800 against £185,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

How many homes change hands in SS14
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 244 SS14 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 437 sales a year before the financial crisis and 275 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.
Rents around SS14
SS14 falls under Basildon, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SS prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SS area, 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.
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
