In cash terms the typical IG8 0 home went from £141,000 in 1995 to £600,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 96%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 37% 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 IG8 0 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 2025 (+28.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−26.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −26.7% | −28.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.7% | −8.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
IG8 0 recorded 37 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 183 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market IG8 0 is
Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IG8 0 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 IG8 district median, IG8 0 sits 8% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around IG8 0
IG8 0 falls under Redbridge, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,725 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,365 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,714 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Redbridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £600,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,725 a month (£20,700 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: IG prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the IG area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
