In cash terms the typical SS9 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £403,800 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 212%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SS9 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 (+23.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 38% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £537,500 against £265,000 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.5% | −3.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 695 sales completed in SS9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,290 sales a year before the financial crisis and 688 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.
Reading the SS9 market
SS9 sits 3 of 17 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What homes rent for around SS9
SS9 falls under Southend-on-Sea, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,287 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £865 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,839, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Southend-on-Sea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,287 a month is £15,444 a year, which against the £403,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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.

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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
