In cash terms the typical SS4 1 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £360,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 238%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SS4 1 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 (+30.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.1%). 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) | −2.2% | −4.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
SS4 1 recorded 77 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 284 sales a year before the financial crisis and 197 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.
What homes rent for around SS4 1
For renting purposes SS4 1 sits in Rochford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,296 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £887 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,867 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Rochford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,296 a month is £15,552 a year, which against the £360,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in SS
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
