Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CM9: steady sales, so price from the evidence
At around 31 sales a month, CM9 ticks along steadily, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.
If you are thinking of selling, CM9 buyers have mostly paid between £211,800 and £595,000, so compare like with like on type, size and condition; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, on price, CM9 is well above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (413 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,280 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
Prices are only part of the picture: the free CM9 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools, and the Report says which deserve your attention.

Median across 12 sampled postcodes; 1 is the most deprived 10% of England, 10 the least.
Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled CM9 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 10, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CM9 8DG, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 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 CM9 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CM9: 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 CM9, band by band
Braintree's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CM9 median sold price of £360,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearBraintree | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £360,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,520 | £127 | 0.42% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,774 | £148 | 0.49% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,027 | £169 | 0.56% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,280 | £190 | 0.63% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £2,787 | £232 | 0.77% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,294 | £275 | 0.92% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £3,801 | £317 | 1.06% |
| H | over £320,000 | £4,561 | £380 | 1.27% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CM9 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.
