Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

A postcode sector like IG10 2 is a single group of streets within IG10 (Loughton), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

| 1996 | £63,500 | £133,919 | 165 |
| 1995 | £63,800 | £138,691 | 112 |
In cash terms the typical IG10 2 home went from £63,800 in 1995 to £470,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 239%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IG10 2 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 2003 (+28.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−4.7%). 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 years (since 2025) | +1.1% | −1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.5% |
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.
Sales activity in IG10 2
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 39 IG10 2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 208 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 a year over the last five. 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.
What kind of market IG10 2 is
Only 39 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IG10 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
Rents around IG10 2
For renting purposes IG10 2 sits in Epping Forest. The ONS average private rent there is £1,842 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,228 a month here against £2,879 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £470,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in IG: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the IG area, from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £530,000 | £800,000 (+51%) | £1,150,000 (+44%) | £1,600,000 (+39%) |
| Semi-detached | £400,325 | £485,000 (+21%) | £590,000 (+22%) | £755,000 (+28%) | £930,000 (+23%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
