In cash terms the typical SS6 9 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £407,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 188%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 17% 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 SS6 9 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 2001 (+24.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.5%). 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) | −3.0% | −5.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SS6 9
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 69 sales completed in SS6 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 354 sales a year before the financial crisis and 213 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.
Rents around SS6 9
SS6 9 falls under Rochford, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,296 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £407,500 median sold price, £1,296 a month is £15,552 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 4% over five years in cash but down 17% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What is for sale in SS6 right now

These cover the whole SS6 district, not just SS6 9: live asking prices are collected per district.
23% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: SS prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SS area. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £368,000 | £505,000 (+37%) | £699,995 (+39%) | £925,000 (+32%) |

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