In cash terms the typical SS8 8 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £327,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 201%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SS8 8 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 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−8.0%). 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) | +5.6% | +3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in SS8 8
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.
The register shows 29 SS8 8 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 166 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Rents around SS8 8
SS8 8 falls under Castle Point, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,249 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £932 a month here against £2,020 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Castle Point
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,249 a month is £14,988 a year, which against the £327,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the SS8 8 market
This is a thin market: 29 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.

50% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

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. 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%) |

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
