How Sandon Close, Rochford prices moved

The chart tracks the median Sandon Close, Rochford house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2018. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.

Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for Sandon Close, Rochford is £112,500 in 2018; the lowest is £24,000 in 1996. Across the full 23-year record the cash median has moved from £24,000 to £112,500.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £52,062, so the real change over the whole record is +188.0% — about +4.93% 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: +2.3% in cash against -21.6% 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. Sandon Close, Rochford is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Ownership and new build in Sandon Close, Rochford

171 of the sales on record are leasehold and 7 freehold — 96.1% 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 £68,700 and the median freehold sale £66,000 — a gap of -3.9%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

A further 3 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.

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 £67,350 here, that rent is a gross yield of 23.11% 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 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.

Section 08

How Sandon Close, Rochford compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Sandon Close, Rochford sits below that national figure — -57.2%.

Within Rochford the street ranks 237 of 237 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £185,000 (-63.6%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,948 per square metre, across 59 of the 178 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 £19,000 to £183,000. 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.

Sandon Close, Rochford 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.

Common questions about this data

What is the average house price in Sandon Close, Rochford?

How many homes have sold in Sandon Close, Rochford?

When were Sandon Close, Rochford house prices at their highest?

The highest yearly median on record is £112,500, set in 2018. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

£1,948 per square metre, from the 59 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 7 Oct 2024. 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.
