In cash terms the typical SS5 6 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £380,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 207%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SS5 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 2000 (+32.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−13.9%). 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) | −13.9% | −16.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.6% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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
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 29 SS5 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 120 sales a year over the last five years against 102 before the financial crisis. 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.
What tenants pay around SS5 6
For renting purposes SS5 6 sits in Rochford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,296 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £887 a month here against £1,867 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Rochford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £380,000 median sold price, £1,296 a month is £15,552 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How SS5 6 trades
Only 29 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SS5 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within SS5, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What another bedroom costs 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.
