IP1 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside IP1 (Ipswich). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical IP1 3 home went from £58,500 in 1995 to £248,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 95%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 31% 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 IP1 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 2020 (+51.7% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−24.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +9.0% | +6.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.8% | −6.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 14 sales completed in IP1 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 116 sales a year before the financial crisis and 45 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.
Rents around IP1 3
IP1 3 falls under Ipswich, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £989 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £739 a month here against £1,465 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Ipswich
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£989 a month is £11,868 a year, which against the £248,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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 IP1 3 is
This is a thin market: 14 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is down 9% over five years in cash but down 28% after inflation.

What you could buy in IP1 now
Turning to what is actually available: 170 homes on the market right now, from 10 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole IP1 district, not just IP1 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
34% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

The price of an extra bedroom in IP
What homes of each size actually sold for across the IP 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 | — | £297,500 | £400,000 (+34%) | £587,000 (+47%) | £800,000 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | £215,000 | £252,000 (+17%) | £295,000 (+17%) | £380,750 (+29%) | £527,500 (+39%) |
| Terraced | £195,000 | £220,000 (+13%) | £260,000 (+18%) | £337,500 (+30%) | £510,000 (+51%) |
| Flat | £136,750 | £180,000 (+32%) | £290,000 (+61%) | — | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
The risers and the fallers

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
