| 1995 | £49,000 | £106,518 | 183 |
In cash terms the typical SS2 6 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £311,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 192%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SS2 6 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 (+40.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−16.4%). 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) | −1.2% | −3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 74 sales completed in SS2 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 287 sales a year before the financial crisis and 192 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.
The rental side of SS2 6
SS2 6 falls under Southend-on-Sea, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,287 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £865 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,839 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Southend-on-Sea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,287 a month is £15,444 a year, which against the £311,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.0%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the SS2 6 market
Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

The price of an extra bedroom in SS
Real sold prices by size across the SS area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £368,000 | £505,000 (+37%) | £699,995 (+39%) | £925,000 (+32%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
