What a square metre costs in IP14 4

In cash terms the typical IP14 4 home went from £57,500 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 132%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 32% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the IP14 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 2003 (+27.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−12.0%). 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) | −9.4% | −11.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.8% | −7.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 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.
The turnover behind the prices
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, 45 sales completed in IP14 4. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 117 sales a year recently, against 108 a year before 2008. 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 IP14 4
IP14 4 falls under Mid Suffolk, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £994 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £712 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,570, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Mid Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £290,000 median purchase price, a rent of £994 a month (£11,928 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.
Reading the IP14 4 market
This is a thin market: 45 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.

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. 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 | — | £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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
