Loughton market report IG10 1
The standing IG10 1 (Loughton) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 4,129 registered sales in IG10 1 (Loughton) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

In short: a typical IG10 1 (Loughton) home changed hands for £634,600 in 2026 (median of 33 registered sales, down 4% on five years earlier), with the mean at £648,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £6,610 per square metre over the last five years.

IG10 1 is one sector of IG10 (Loughton): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

Today's IG10 1 prices, from the sold record
The 2026 median for IG10 1 is £634,600, taken from 33 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £648,000, nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.
House prices per square metre in IG10 1
Measured by floor area, the last five years of IG10 1 sales average about £6,610 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving IG10 1 123% above the national figure.
IG10 1's median sold price, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

| 1995 | £106,500 | £231,515 | 124 |
In cash terms the typical IG10 1 home went from £106,500 in 1995 to £634,600 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 174%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 29% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IG10 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 1997 (+21.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−21.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.9% | −12.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in IG10 1
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 33 sales completed in IG10 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 172 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 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.
Rents around IG10 1
IG10 1 falls under Epping Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,842 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,228 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,879, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Epping Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,842 a month is £22,104 a year, which against the £634,600 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
Reading the IG10 1 market
This is a thin market: 33 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within IG10, this sector trades 27% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

How much did a house sell for in IG10 1 (Loughton)?

The price of an extra bedroom in IG
What homes of each size actually sold for across the IG 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £530,000 | £800,000 (+51%) | £1,150,000 (+44%) | £1,600,000 (+39%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is 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.
