Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on SS4: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
SS4 sees about 24 sales a month, which suits pricing from the latest sold homes better than from any single average or trend.
When selling here, detached homes typically sold for £480,000 against £164,000 for flats, which explains a spread of £165,000 to £555,500, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseFor buyers, SS4 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Before you offer in SS4, check planning history nearby (22 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,363 a year), and ask your conveyancer about the title.
With averages this broad, the free SS4 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Rochford (SS4) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £480,000 against £164,000 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 £165,000 and £555,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 24 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled SS4 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 1 to decile 9, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
SS4 3QQ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 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 SS4 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in SS4: 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.

What it costs to run a home in SS4, band by band
Rochford's council tax for 2026-27 set against the SS4 median sold price of £370,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the SS4 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.
