| 1996 | £66,200 | £139,613 | 491 |
| 1995 | £63,500 | £138,039 | 494 |
In cash terms the typical IG3 home went from £63,500 in 1995 to £497,500 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 260%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. 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 IG3 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 (+30.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 60% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £840,000 against £365,000 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

| Semi-detached | £543,500 | 8 | 1,453 |

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.5% | −2.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +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.
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
IG3 recorded 117 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 602 sales a year before the financial crisis and 158 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 IG3
IG3 falls under Redbridge, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,725 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,365 a month here against £2,714 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Redbridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,725 a month is £20,700 a year, which against the £497,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.
How IG3 trades
Only 117 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IG3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

The price of an extra bedroom in IG
What homes of each size actually sold for across the IG area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £400,325 | £485,000 (+21%) | £590,000 (+22%) | £755,000 (+28%) | £930,000 (+23%) |
| Terraced | £380,000 | £450,000 (+18%) | £525,000 (+17%) | £620,000 (+18%) | £750,000 (+21%) |
| Flat | £260,000 | £355,500 (+37%) | £485,000 (+36%) | — | — |
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.
