How Ashingdon Heights, Rochford prices moved
The chart tracks the median Ashingdon Heights, Rochford house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2016. 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 | 1 | £152,000 | £337,512 |
| 2000s | 3 | £248,500 | £452,694 |
| 2010s | 1 | £515,000 | £726,150 |
The highest yearly median on record for Ashingdon Heights, Rochford is £515,000 in 2016; the lowest is £152,000 in 1999. Across the full 18-year record the cash median has moved from £152,000 to £515,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £309,711, so the real change over the whole record is +132.1% — about +5.08% 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: +106.0% in cash against +49.1% 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.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Ashingdon Heights, Rochford 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 | 79 | 98.8% | £285,000 | £101,375 – £695,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Ashingdon Heights, Rochford
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 80 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 | 80 | 100.0% | £285,000 |
| New build | 41 | 51.2% | £240,000 |
| Existing home | 39 | 48.8% | £415,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -42.2%. 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.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of SS4, 79 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 37 violent, 1 burglary, 6 vehicle-related and 16 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.1 times quieter.
Against the 85,661 residents the 2021 census counted in Rochford, that is 0.92 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.
