How Buckingham Road, Hockley prices moved
The chart tracks the median Buckingham Road, Hockley house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2013. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2 | £62,500 | £138,780 |
| 2000s | 3 | £132,500 | £241,376 |
| 2010s | 2 | £157,000 | £221,370 |
The highest yearly median on record for Buckingham Road, Hockley is £258,750 in 2013; the lowest is £57,750 in 2000. Across the full 17-year record the cash median has moved from £62,500 to £258,750.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £132,519, so the real change over the whole record is +184.7% — about +6.76% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +53.1% in cash against +18.1% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Buckingham Road, Hockley is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 58 | 50.9% | £177,000 | £41,000 – £417,700 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Buckingham Road, Hockley
21 of the sales on record are leasehold and 93 freehold — 18.4% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £113,500 and the median freehold sale £187,500 — a gap of +65.2%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 21 | 18.4% | £113,500 |
| Freehold | 93 | 81.6% | £187,500 |

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Rochford, 41.9% of 33,916 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.3% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 320 | 0.9% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Rochford at £1,297 a month as of Jun 2026 — £888 for a one-bedroom home and £1,424 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £169,333 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.19% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of SS5, 36 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 14 violent, 1 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 8 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 4.6 times quieter.
Against the 85,661 residents the 2021 census counted in Rochford, that is 0.42 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

How Buckingham Road, Hockley compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Buckingham Road, Hockley sits above that national figure — +7.5%.
Within Hockley the street ranks 240 of 263 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £241,000 (-29.7%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,669 per square metre, across 32 of the 114 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £36,500 to £742,500. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Buckingham Road, Hockley sits in Rochford, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Rochford at 11.1 times median local earnings of £36,625 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Buckingham Road, Hockley?
The median price paid in Buckingham Road, Hockley across every sale on the register is £169,333. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Buckingham Road, Hockley?
114 sales are on record for Buckingham Road, Hockley, the most recent completing on 26 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Buckingham Road, Hockley house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +53.1% between 2003 and 2013. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +18.1%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Buckingham Road, Hockley house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £258,750, set in 2013. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Buckingham Road, Hockley?
£2,669 per square metre, from the 32 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 26 Mar 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
