Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CB9: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
Roughly 29 homes a month change hands in CB9, enough to learn from, though the year-on-year comparison is too thin to quote, so lean on the recent sold homes.
For sellers, £189,995 to £422,750 is what most CB9 buyers have actually paid, so narrow down to sold homes that match yours before you pick a price; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseWhen buying here, on price, CB9 is close to the UK average, so hold any asking price up against the sold homes of the same type.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (826 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,280 a year); your conveyancer should look at the title too.
Next step: the free CB9 OfferCheck, which sets flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools next to these prices, with every source named.

Across the 12 sampled CB9 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 9, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CB9 0DJ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 5 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so CB9 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CB9: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in CB9, band by band
Braintree's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CB9 median sold price of £263,500 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearBraintree | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £263,500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,520 | £127 | 0.58% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,774 | £148 | 0.67% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,561 | £380 | 1.73% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CB9 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
