In cash terms the typical SS5 home went from £61,000 in 1995 to £418,800 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 216%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SS5 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 (+35.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−6.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.9% | −9.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £600,000 against £245,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
SS5 recorded 265 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 333 sales a year recently, against 409 a year before 2008. 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 homes rent for around SS5
For renting purposes SS5 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.
Against the £418,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,296 a month (£15,552 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SS prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the SS area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
