In cash terms the typical IP14 5 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £280,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 143%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IP14 5 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 1999 (+28.9% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−8.4%). 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) | +1.8% | −0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in IP14 5
How many homes change hands
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.
IP14 5 recorded 71 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 259 sales a year before the financial crisis and 150 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.
Rents around IP14 5
For renting purposes IP14 5 sits in Mid Suffolk. The ONS average private rent there is £994 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £712 a month here against £1,570 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Mid Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £280,000 median purchase price, a rent of £994 a month (£11,928 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.

What another bedroom costs in IP
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the IP area. 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.
