Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CM5: a quiet market, so take your time
Only about 12 sales a month sell in CM5, so no single figure here should carry much weight, and the individual sold homes are the better guide.
If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £253,450 to £987,050 makes £490,000 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, on price, CM5 is well above the UK average, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.
Before an offer goes in on any CM5 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (118 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,258 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free CM5 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Brentwood (CM5) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £750,000 against £255,000 for flats: about 2.9 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £253,450 and £987,050, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is a quiet district: only about 12 recorded sales a month.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled CM5 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 10, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CM5 0AU, 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 CM5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CM5: 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 CM5, band by band
Brentwood's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CM5 median sold price of £490,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

| H | over £320,000 | £4,516 | £376 | 0.92% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CM5 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.
