How Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea prices moved
The chart tracks the median Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2024. 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 | 4 | £59,500 | £132,118 |
| 2000s | 6 | £147,500 | £268,702 |
| 2010s | 4 | £213,000 | £300,330 |
| 2020s | 2 | £358,000 | £365,783 |
The highest yearly median on record for Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea is £420,000 in 2024; the lowest is £57,375 in 1997. Across the full 29-year record the cash median has moved from £59,500 to £420,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £129,069, so the real change over the whole record is +242.4% — about +4.49% 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: +80.3% in cash against +32.2% 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. Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea 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 | 120 | 76.4% | £184,000 | £39,000 – £470,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 157 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 | 157 | 100.0% | £185,000 |
A further 1 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 Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Castle Point, 27.7% of 34,113 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.7% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Castle Point at £1,255 a month as of Jun 2026 — £937 for a one-bedroom home and £1,417 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £185,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.14% 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 SS9, 164 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 87 violent, 2 burglary, 5 vehicle-related and 27 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 89,587 residents the 2021 census counted in Castle Point, that is 1.83 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.

The neighbourhood around Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea
The 2021 census counted 89,587 residents in Castle Point across 37,389 households. 80.4% of those households own their home and 19.5% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

How Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea compares

Within Leigh-on-sea the street ranks 294 of 430 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £199,495 (-7.3%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,365 per square metre, across 35 of the 157 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea sits in Castle Point, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Castle Point at 9.8 times median local earnings of £36,715 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.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea?
The median price paid in Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea across every sale on the register is £185,000. 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.

157 sales are on record for Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea, the most recent completing on 22 Aug 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +80.3% between 2014 and 2024. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +32.2%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £420,000, set in 2024. 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 Springwater Road, Leigh-on-sea?
£2,365 per square metre, from the 35 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 22 Aug 2025. 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.
