Basildon average house price edges up 0.4% in the year to August to £366,218, HM Land Registry finds

The average home in Basildon was valued at £366,218 in August 2026, up 0.4% on a year earlier and 0.1% on July, according to the UK House Price Index published on 21 October. Terraced and semi-detached homes led, up 1.3% and 1.2% over the year, while flats fell 2.0% and detached homes slipped 0.3%. For sellers in Basildon, that points to steady demand for family houses but a harder pitch on flats; for first-time buyers, the average first-time buyer price of £306,407 is up 0.5%, a little behind the UK's 0.9%. Local figures rest on a relatively small number of sales and are provisional, so one month's movement should not be read as a trend.
