In cash terms the typical SS7 5 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £375,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 188%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SS7 5 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 2003 (+28.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.8%). 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) | −4.5% | −6.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 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.
How many homes change hands in SS7 5
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 71 SS7 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 262 sales a year before the financial crisis and 148 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of SS7 5
SS7 5 falls under Castle Point, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £375,000 median sold price, £1,249 a month is £14,988 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SS: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SS area. 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.

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