In cash terms the typical IG10 4 home went from £114,500 in 1995 to £537,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 116%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 48% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the IG10 4 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 2002 (+44.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−30.7%). 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) | −27.6% | −29.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.3% | −9.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.1% | −3.2% |
| 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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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, 26 sales completed in IG10 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 121 sales a year before the financial crisis and 61 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.
What kind of market IG10 4 is
This is a thin market: 26 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. Within IG10, this sector trades 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of IG10 4
IG10 4 falls under Epping Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,842 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,228 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,879 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £537,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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
Real sold prices by size across the IG area, straight 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.
