In cash terms the typical SS4 3 home went from £63,500 in 1995 to £402,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 192%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SS4 3 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 (+33.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SS4 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.9% | +3.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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
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.
SS4 3 recorded 36 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 180 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of SS4 3
For renting purposes SS4 3 sits in Rochford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,296 a month (May 2026). 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.
£1,296 a month is £15,552 a year, which against the £402,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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 SS4 3 market
This is a thin market: 36 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. Against the SS4 district median, SS4 3 sits 12% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
