In cash terms the typical SS8 9 home went from £48,500 in 1995 to £315,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 199%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SS8 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 2003 (+27.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−7.9%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 69 sales completed in SS8 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 345 sales a year before the financial crisis and 149 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.
The rental side of SS8 9
For renting purposes SS8 9 sits in Castle Point. The ONS average private rent there is £1,249 a month (May 2026). 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.
£1,249 a month is £14,988 a year, which against the £315,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in SS
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SS area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
