In cash terms the typical IG7 6 home went from £108,000 in 1995 to £631,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 169%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 36% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the IG7 6 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 1997 (+49.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−27.7%). 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) | −0.6% | −3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.8% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
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 register shows 27 IG7 6 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 97 sales a year before the financial crisis and 47 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 IG7 6 market
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IG7 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the IG7 district median, IG7 6 sits 33% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of IG7 6
The local authority for IG7 6 is Epping Forest, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,842 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,228 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,879, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Epping Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £631,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,842 a month (£22,104 a year) works out at a 3.5% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

IG7's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 25 homes currently on the market from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole IG7 district, not just IG7 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
26% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in IG
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
