In cash terms the typical IG11 7 home went from £44,500 in 1995 to £273,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 182%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 38% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the IG11 7 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 (+30.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−22.3%). 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) | −22.3% | −24.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.9% | −8.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in IG11 7
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 25 IG11 7 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 238 sales a year before the financial crisis and 127 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 homes rent for around IG11 7
IG11 7 falls under Barking and Dagenham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,690 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,371 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,507 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Barking and Dagenham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,690 a month is £20,280 a year, which against the £273,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.4%. 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 shape of the IG11 7 market
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IG11 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 IG11, this sector trades 20% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in IG: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the IG area, straight 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.

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.
