What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Kings Gardens, Upminster 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 | 41 | 65.1% | £300,000 | £72,000 – £590,900 |
| Detached | 21 | 33.3% | £475,000 | £225,000 – £715,000 |
| Terraced | 1 | 1.6% | £86,000 | £86,000 – £86,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Kings Gardens, Upminster
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 63 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 | 63 | 100.0% | £365,000 |
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.

Living in Kings Gardens, Upminster
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Brentwood, 43.9% of 36,805 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.7% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 92 | 0.2% |

| C | 12,560 | 34.1% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Brentwood at £1,615 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,103 for a one-bedroom home and £1,711 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £365,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.31% 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 RM14, 74 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 20 violent, 2 burglary, 11 vehicle-related and 15 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.3 times quieter.
Against the 77,047 residents the 2021 census counted in Brentwood, that is 0.96 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 Kings Gardens, Upminster
The 2021 census counted 77,047 residents in Brentwood across 32,343 households. 72.6% of those households own their home and 27.3% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
11 state and independent schools have a RM14 postcode: 7 primary, 4 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Kings Gardens, Upminster compares

Within Upminster the street ranks 96 of 239 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £300,000 (+21.7%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £4,575 per square metre, across 19 of the 63 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Kings Gardens, Upminster sits in Brentwood, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Brentwood at 12.9 times median local earnings of £38,821 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 Kings Gardens, Upminster?
The median price paid in Kings Gardens, Upminster across every sale on the register is £365,000. 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 Kings Gardens, Upminster?
63 sales are on record for Kings Gardens, Upminster, the most recent completing on 26 Feb 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Kings Gardens, Upminster house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +6.2% between 2016 and 2021. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -3.9%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Kings Gardens, Upminster house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £560,000, set in 2021. 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 Kings Gardens, Upminster?
£4,575 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.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 26 Feb 2026. 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.
