IP16 sold prices: where the market stands
Across 33 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) IP16 home went for £269,000. The mean is £290,400, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
Price per square metre in IP16
The last five years of sales put IP16 at roughly £3,130 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

In cash terms the typical IP16 home went from £40,900 in 1995 to £269,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 203%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 21% 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 IP16 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 2004 (+47.2% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−14.4%). 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) | +12.1% | +9.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 33% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £382,500 against £125,600 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Sales activity in IP16
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.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 61 sales completed in IP16. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 145 sales a year before the financial crisis and 100 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 IP16 is
Only 61 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IP16 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What homes rent for around IP16
For renting purposes IP16 sits in East Suffolk. The ONS average private rent there is £834 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £597 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,332 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, East Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£834 a month is £10,008 a year, which against the £269,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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.

Will IP16 prices rise from here?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 21% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.

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.
| 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%) |

| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
