How Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea prices moved
The chart tracks the median Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 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 | 5 | £41,000 | £91,039 |
| 2000s | 8 | £139,000 | £253,217 |
| 2010s | 7 | £186,500 | £262,965 |
| 2020s | 6 | £342,000 | £349,435 |
The highest yearly median on record for Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea is £370,000 in 2020; the lowest is £35,000 in 1995. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £35,000 to £350,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £77,717, so the real change over the whole record is +360.1% — about +5.22% 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: +134.9% in cash against +70.2% 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.

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.

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 Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea 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. Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 125 | 43.1% | £160,000 | £25,000 – £466,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 112 | 38.6% | £95,000 | £20,500 – £265,000 |
| Semi-detached | 36 | 12.4% | £160,000 | £28,750 – £460,000 |
| Detached | 17 | 5.9% | £220,000 | £103,500 – £520,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea
119 of the sales on record are leasehold and 171 freehold — 41.0% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £99,995 and the median freehold sale £167,500 — a gap of +67.5%. 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 | 119 | 41.0% | £99,995 |
| Freehold | 171 | 59.0% | £167,500 |
| New build | 2 | 0.7% | £67,248 |
| Existing home | 288 | 99.3% | £129,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -47.9%. 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.
A further 13 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 Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Southend-on-Sea, 31.9% of 89,247 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.4% 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 Southend-on-Sea at £1,292 a month as of Jun 2026 — £869 for a one-bedroom home and £1,344 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £126,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.26% 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 SS0, 556 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 235 violent, 20 burglary, 38 vehicle-related and 77 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.3 times busier.
Against the 180,686 residents the 2021 census counted in Southend-on-Sea, that is 3.08 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 Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea
The 2021 census counted 180,686 residents in Southend-on-Sea across 78,344 households. 61.9% of those households own their home and 38.0% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea?
The median price paid in Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea across every sale on the register is £126,500. 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 Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea?
290 sales are on record for Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea, the most recent completing on 31 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +134.9% between 2015 and 2025. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +70.2%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £370,000, set in 2020. 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 Fairmead Avenue, Westcliff-on-sea?
£1,881 per square metre, from the 66 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 31 Mar 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.
