Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CM6: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
Roughly 30 homes a month change hands in CM6, which suits pricing from the latest sold homes better than from any single average or trend.
When selling here, £433,750 is only the middle of a market that runs from £234,300 to £756,000, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseFor buyers, on price, CM6 is well above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Do your own homework first: planning history nearby (786 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,280 a year), then hand the title to your conveyancer.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free CM6 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Braintree (CM6) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £585,000 against £200,000 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 £234,300 and £756,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 30 recorded sales a month.

These are Braintree's charges for 2026-27, the authority CM6 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.

Median across 12 sampled postcodes; 1 is the most deprived 10% of England, 10 the least.
Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled CM6 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 6 to decile 10, with a median of decile 8 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CM6 1DA, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 8 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 CM6 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CM6: 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 CM6, band by band
Braintree's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CM6 median sold price of £433,750 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÷ £433,750 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,520 | £127 | 0.35% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,561 | £380 | 1.05% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CM6 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.
