How Runwell Road, Wickford prices moved
The chart tracks the median Runwell Road, Wickford 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 | 3 | £86,254 | £191,524 |
| 2000s | 6 | £199,998 | £364,337 |
| 2010s | 4 | £297,000 | £418,770 |
| 2020s | 3 | £345,000 | £352,500 |
The highest yearly median on record for Runwell Road, Wickford is £480,000 in 2024; the lowest is £74,250 in 1995. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £74,250 to £345,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £164,870, so the real change over the whole record is +113.8% — about +2.57% 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: +33.3% in cash against -6.6% 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.

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 Runwell Road, Wickford 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. Runwell Road, Wickford 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 | 71 | 49.7% | £257,500 | £58,000 – £525,000 |
| Detached | 49 | 34.3% | £335,000 | £50,000 – £1,200,000 |
| Terraced | 13 | 9.1% | £156,495 | £20,000 – £380,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Runwell Road, Wickford
22 of the sales on record are leasehold and 121 freehold — 15.4% 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 £64,998 and the median freehold sale £297,000 — a gap of +356.9%. 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 | 22 | 15.4% | £64,998 |
| Freehold | 121 | 84.6% | £297,000 |
A further 11 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 09
How Runwell Road, Wickford compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Runwell Road, Wickford sits above that national figure — +58.7%.
Within Wickford the street ranks 114 of 457 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £189,000 (+32.3%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,543 per square metre, across 19 of the 143 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 £20,000 to £1,200,000. 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Runwell Road, Wickford?

How many homes have sold in Runwell Road, Wickford?

When were Runwell Road, Wickford house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £480,000, set in 2024. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

£1,543 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.
