In cash terms the typical IG7 4 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £430,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 230%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IG7 4 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 2020 (+26.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What IG7 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.7% | +3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 33 sales completed in IG7 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 146 sales a year before the financial crisis and 77 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.
What tenants pay around IG7 4
The local authority for IG7 4 is Redbridge, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Set against the £430,000 median sold price, £1,725 a month is £20,700 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: 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.
How IG7 4 trades
This is a thin market: 33 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within IG7, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
