The Essex market
Essex spans a wide range, from affluent commuter towns to more affordable coastal and estuary areas. As a guide, the average sold price across the county was around £428,000 in the year to March 2026 (HM Land Registry), influenced in part by areas close to the London boundary.
Figures are indicative and move over time; we’ll give you accurate, up-to-date advice for your specific home and location.
The Essex–Suffolk border is home to Dedham Vale National Landscape, the gentle Stour valley countryside immortalised by John Constable, including the village of Dedham. North Essex around Mistley and Wrabness also falls within the extended Suffolk and Essex Coast and Heaths National Landscape. It’s classic English countryside, with riverside walks, historic villages and easy access to both London and the Suffolk coast.
