In cash terms the typical IG6 3 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £467,500 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 258%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IG6 3 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 2000 (+23.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−9.9%). 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) | +5.1% | +2.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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, 29 sales completed in IG6 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 143 sales a year before the financial crisis and 55 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.
Rents around IG6 3
IG6 3 falls under Redbridge, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,725 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,365 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,714, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £467,500 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.
What kind of market IG6 3 is
Only 29 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IG6 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Moving up a bedroom in IG: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the IG area, 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.
| 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%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
