Letting in Southend-on-Sea

What to know before you pick an agent in Southend-on-Sea.

Three districts

SS1 is the town centre and Thorpe Bay, SS2 Prittlewell, Southchurch and the area around Southend Airport, and SS3 Shoeburyness and the villages beyond it, including Great and Little Wakering and Barling.

Westcliff and Leigh are separate

Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0) and Leigh-on-Sea (SS9) are post towns of their own, so they aren't on this page. If your postcode starts SS0 or SS9, your property is in one of those instead.

Two councils

SS1 is all in the Southend-on-Sea council area. SS2 and SS3 are split between Southend-on-Sea and Rochford, so check which council covers your address before you look at licensing.
