Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CO9: steady sales, so price from the evidence
250 sales since November 2025 make CO9 a steady market, which is enough to price from, though not enough history for us to call a clear twelve-month direction.
If you are selling, CO9 sales mostly ran from £189,700 to £547,800, so find the sold homes closest to yours and price against those; roughly 27 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseIf you are buying, CO9 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.
On any CO9 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (14 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,280 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
Prices are only part of the picture: the free CO9 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 CO9 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 2 to decile 8, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CO9 3NR, 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 CO9 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CO9: 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 CO9, band by band
Braintree's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CO9 median sold price of £328,500 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÷ £328,500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,520 | £127 | 0.46% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,774 | £148 | 0.54% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,561 | £380 | 1.39% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CO9 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.
