Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CM18: steady sales, so price from the evidence
Roughly 22 homes a month change hands in CM18, which is enough to price from, though not enough history for us to call a clear twelve-month direction.
If you are thinking of selling, CM18 buyers have mostly paid between £173,800 and £420,000, so compare like with like on type, size and condition; roughly 22 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, CM18 sits above the UK average for typical prices, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
Before an offer goes in on any CM18 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (525 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,277 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Next step: the free CM18 OfferCheck, which sets flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools next to these prices, with every source named.

These are Epping Forest's charges for 2026-27, the authority CM18 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled CM18 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 6, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CM18 7DH, 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 CM18 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CM18: 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 CM18, band by band
Epping Forest's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CM18 median sold price of £320,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearEpping Forest | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £320,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,518 | £127 | 0.47% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,771 | £148 | 0.55% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,024 | £169 | 0.63% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,277 | £190 | 0.71% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £2,783 | £232 | 0.87% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,289 | £274 | 1.03% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £3,795 | £316 | 1.19% |
| H | over £320,000 | £4,554 | £380 | 1.42% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CM18 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.
