By property type, 44% were detached homes (typically £810,000) and 35% were semi-detached homes (typically £597,500).

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on RM4: a quiet market, so take your time
RM4 has seen just 250 sales since January 2023, with a median below last year’s, so buyers have time on their side, though a few sales can mislead either way.
If you are thinking of selling, most RM4 sales sit between £354,500 and £1,153,125, which makes £627,500 a blunt instrument, 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, RM4 is well above the UK average, though prices have eased, so there may be room to negotiate; just remember one year of falls is not a forecast.
On any RM4 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (44 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,258 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
Averages only go so far, so the free RM4 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the Brentwood (RM4) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £810,000 against £305,000 for flats: about 2.7 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £354,500 and £1,153,125, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (93%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 6 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled RM4 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 5, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
RM4 1BL, 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 RM4 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in RM4: 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 RM4, band by band
Brentwood's council tax for 2026-27 set against the RM4 median sold price of £627,500 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 | 0.72% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the RM4 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.
