In cash terms the typical IG1 1 home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £311,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 155%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 42% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the IG1 1 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 2020 (+37.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−31.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −26.8% | −28.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −6.0% | −10.3% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | −2.2% | −6.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.4% | −2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.1% |
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.
Sales activity in IG1 1
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 12 sales completed in IG1 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 241 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the IG1 1 market
This is a thin market: 12 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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. Against the IG1 district median, IG1 1 sits 29% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around IG1 1
For renting purposes IG1 1 sits in Redbridge. The ONS average private rent there is £1,725 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,365 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,714, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Redbridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £311,000 median sold price, £1,725 a month is £20,700 a year, a gross yield of 6.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in IG: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the IG area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £637,650 | £740,000 (+16%) | £950,000 (+28%) | £1,285,000 (+35%) | £1,625,000 (+26%) |
| Semi-detached | £421,175 | £485,000 (+15%) | £575,000 (+19%) | £723,000 (+26%) | £865,000 (+20%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
