In cash terms the typical CB8 7 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £295,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 171%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 34% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CB8 7 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2001 (+37.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−19.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CB8 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −19.7% | −21.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.1% | −7.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 31 CB8 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 124 sales a year recently, against 152 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
How CB8 7 trades
Only 31 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CB8 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
The rental side of CB8 7
For renting purposes CB8 7 sits in West Suffolk. The ONS average private rent there is £1,177 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £813 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,848 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, West Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £295,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,177 a month (£14,124 a year) works out at a 4.8% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Moving up a bedroom in CB: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CB area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £360,500 | £494,995 (+37%) | £689,000 (+39%) | £979,975 (+42%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
