New homes among the homes sold
| Period | In South Ockendon | Across the RM15 district |
|---|---|---|
| The 12 months to September 2026 | 0 of 184 (0%) | 0 of 295 (0%) |
| The 12 months to September 2025 | 0 of 244 (0%) | 0 of 371 (0%) |
Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.
