In cash terms the typical IP14 6 home went from £68,000 in 1995 to £385,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 160%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the IP14 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 2003 (+28.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−16.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What IP14 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +10.0% | +7.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 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
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 23 IP14 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 80 sales a year before the financial crisis and 46 a year over the last five. 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.
How IP14 6 trades
This is a thin market: 23 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 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 IP14 district median, IP14 6 sits 38% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around IP14 6
For renting purposes IP14 6 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 £385,000 median purchase price, a rent of £994 a month (£11,928 a year) works out at a 3.1% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in IP
Real sold prices by size across the IP area, straight 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 | — | £297,500 | £400,000 (+34%) | £587,000 (+47%) | £800,000 (+36%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
