In cash terms the typical SS7 1 home went from £71,000 in 1995 to £490,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 217%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SS7 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 (+23.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.0%). 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) | +15.3% | +12.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SS7 1
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 50 sales completed in SS7 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 190 sales a year before the financial crisis and 131 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.
What tenants pay around SS7 1
The local authority for SS7 1 is Castle Point, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,249 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £932 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,020, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Castle Point
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £490,000 median sold price, £1,249 a month is £14,988 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: 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.
The shape of the SS7 1 market
This is a thin market: 50 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. 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 SS7, this sector trades 23% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Moving up a bedroom in SS: the cost
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.

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

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
