How Wentworth Meadows, Maldon prices moved
The chart tracks the median Wentworth Meadows, Maldon house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2025. 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 | £54,748 | £121,565 |
| 2000s | 1 | £86,000 | £156,667 |
| 2010s | 2 | £307,500 | £433,575 |
| 2020s | 2 | £340,000 | £347,391 |
The highest yearly median on record for Wentworth Meadows, Maldon is £385,000 in 2021; the lowest is £54,748 in 1996. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £54,748 to £340,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £118,760, so the real change over the whole record is +192.5% — about +3.77% 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: +295.3% in cash against +106.0% 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.

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 Wentworth Meadows, Maldon values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Wentworth Meadows, Maldon 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 | 37 | 38.1% | £248,000 | £54,995 – £450,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 28 | 28.9% | £125,000 | £29,500 – £233,500 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Wentworth Meadows, Maldon
30 of the sales on record are leasehold and 67 freehold — 30.9% 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 £124,500 and the median freehold sale £246,500 — a gap of +98.0%. 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 | 30 | 30.9% | £124,500 |
| Freehold | 67 | 69.1% | £246,500 |
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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Braintree, 48.3% of 69,960 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.9% 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 Braintree at £1,224 a month as of Jun 2026 — £858 for a one-bedroom home and £1,366 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £187,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.85% 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 CM9, 62 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 28 violent, 1 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 7 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.7 times quieter.
Against the 155,268 residents the 2021 census counted in Braintree, that is 0.40 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 Wentworth Meadows, Maldon
The 2021 census counted 155,268 residents in Braintree across 64,983 households. 68.6% of those households own their home and 31.4% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

How Wentworth Meadows, Maldon compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Wentworth Meadows, Maldon sits above that national figure — +18.7%.
Within Maldon the street ranks 310 of 484 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £195,000 (-4.1%).

Wentworth Meadows, Maldon sits in Braintree, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Braintree at 9.2 times median local earnings of £37,704 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 Wentworth Meadows, Maldon?

When were Wentworth Meadows, Maldon house prices at their highest?

£2,397 per square metre, from the 19 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 15 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.
