In cash terms the typical IG11 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 184%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the IG11 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 (+31.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.8%). 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) | −8.1% | −10.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 50% of the typed total. In 2012, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £232,000 against £130,000 for a flat, 1.8 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 255 IG11 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 997 sales a year before the financial crisis and 391 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the IG11 market
IG11 is currently the cheapest district of its postcode area by median price, which cuts both ways: the lowest entry price, and the least priced-in expectation.
What homes rent for around IG11
IG11 falls under Barking and Dagenham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,690 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,371 a month here against £2,507 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Barking and Dagenham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £340,000 median sold price, £1,690 a month is £20,280 a year, a gross yield of 6.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What another bedroom costs in IG
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the IG area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

| Flat | £260,000 | £355,500 (+37%) | £485,000 (+36%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
