In cash terms the typical IG10 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £500,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 188%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IG10 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 (+26.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−9.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.9% | −5.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +0.9% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 30% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £915,000 against £325,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Sales activity in IG10
How many homes change hands
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.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
IG10 recorded 334 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 726 sales a year before the financial crisis and 408 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 rental side of IG10
IG10 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in IG
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 | — | £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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
