In cash terms the typical IG10 3 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £500,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 229%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the IG10 3 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 (+22.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−10.3%). 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) | +4.5% | +2.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
IG10 3 recorded 49 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 224 sales a year before the financial crisis and 169 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the IG10 3 market
Only 49 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IG10 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What homes rent for around IG10 3
IG10 3 falls under Epping Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,842 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £500,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: IG prices by size
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.
