In cash terms the typical SS15 5 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £295,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 239%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SS15 5 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 1998 (+31.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.3% | −8.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SS15 5
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 64 SS15 5 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 319 sales a year before the financial crisis and 147 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 homes rent for around SS15 5
For renting purposes SS15 5 sits in Basildon. The ONS average private rent there is £1,410 a month (May 2026). 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.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,410 a month is £16,920 a year, which against the £295,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling.

Bedroom by bedroom: SS prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SS area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
