In cash terms the typical SS3 0 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £360,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 201%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SS3 0 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 1997 (+23.1% 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.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.3% | −7.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +0.9% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 34 SS3 0 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 143 sales a year before the financial crisis and 99 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.
The rental side of SS3 0
The local authority for SS3 0 is Rochford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,296 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £887 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,867, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Rochford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £360,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,296 a month (£15,552 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.
What kind of market SS3 0 is
This is a thin market: 34 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. 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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SS area, 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%) |
| Terraced | £285,000 | £320,000 (+12%) | £345,000 (+8%) | £435,000 (+26%) | £615,000 (+41%) |
| Flat | £190,000 | £245,000 (+29%) | £340,000 (+39%) | — | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
