Section 02
The most recent sales

Section 03
Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to The Westerings, Hockley values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. The Westerings, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 59 | 86.8% | £290,000 | £32,000 – £850,000 |
| Semi-detached | 7 | 10.3% | £275,000 | £90,000 – £420,000 |
| Terraced | 2 | 2.9% | £205,000 | £205,000 – £287,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in The Westerings, Hockley
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 68 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 68 | 100.0% | £281,250 |
| New build | 1 | 1.5% | £299,995 |
| Existing home | 67 | 98.5% | £275,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +9.1%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 2 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in The Westerings, Hockley
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% |
| B | 4,695 | 13.8% |
| C | 9,211 | 27.2% |
| D | 12,865 | 37.9% |
| E | 5,370 | 15.8% |
| F | 1,203 | 3.5% |
| G | 252 | 0.7% |
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 £281,250 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.53% 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.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around The Westerings, Hockley
The 2021 census counted 85,661 residents in Rochford across 35,558 households. 81.2% of those households own their home and 18.8% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
5 state and independent schools have a SS5 postcode: 4 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How The Westerings, Hockley compares

Within Hockley the street ranks 89 of 263 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £241,000 (+16.7%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,974 per square metre, across 5 of the 68 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 £32,000 to £850,000. 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.
The Westerings, 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 The Westerings, Hockley?

How many homes have sold in The Westerings, Hockley?
68 sales are on record for The Westerings, Hockley, the most recent completing on 10 Jan 2022. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
When were The Westerings, Hockley house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £260,000, set in 2006. 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 The Westerings, Hockley?
£1,974 per square metre, from the 5 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 10 Jan 2022. 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.
