How The Square, Southminster prices moved

Section 02
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.

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 Square, Southminster 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 Square, Southminster 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 | 20 | 55.6% | £236,500 | £10,000 – £560,000 |
| Semi-detached | 11 | 30.6% | £156,000 | £58,000 – £325,000 |
| Terraced | 5 | 13.9% | £350,000 | £59,995 – £435,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in The Square, Southminster
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 36 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 | 36 | 100.0% | £230,000 |
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.
Section 07
Living in The Square, Southminster
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Maldon, 39.9% of 29,784 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 8.2% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 406 | 1.4% |
| B | 4,227 | 14.2% |
| C | 7,263 | 24.4% |
| D | 10,310 | 34.6% |
| E | 5,140 | 17.3% |
| F | 1,916 | 6.4% |
| G | 522 | 1.8% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Maldon at £1,146 a month as of Jun 2026 — £802 for a one-bedroom home and £1,253 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £230,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.98% 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 CM0, 22 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 16 violent, 0 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 2 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 7.6 times quieter.
Against the 66,208 residents the 2021 census counted in Maldon, that is 0.33 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 Square, Southminster
The 2021 census counted 66,208 residents in Maldon across 27,900 households. 77.0% of those households own their home and 23.0% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
6 state and independent schools have a CM0 postcode: 5 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 Square, Southminster compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. The Square, Southminster sits above that national figure — +46.0%.
Within Southminster the street ranks 60 of 141 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £189,000 (+21.7%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £10,000 to £560,000. 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 Square, Southminster sits in Maldon, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Maldon at 11.1 times median local earnings of £34,843 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 The Square, Southminster?
The median price paid in The Square, Southminster across every sale on the register is £230,000. 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.
How many homes have sold in The Square, Southminster?
36 sales are on record for The Square, Southminster, the most recent completing on 27 Sep 2024. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
What is the price per square metre in The Square, Southminster?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 27 Sep 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.
