IP18 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside IP18 (Southwold). 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 IP18 6 home went from £70,800 in 1995 to £335,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 118%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 48% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IP18 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 1999 (+31.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−30.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −30.2% | −31.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −7.7% | −12.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.7% | −4.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.9% | −1.8% |
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.
IP18 6 recorded 31 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 136 sales a year before the financial crisis and 77 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.
What kind of market IP18 6 is
This is a thin market: 31 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.
The rental side of IP18 6
IP18 6 falls under East Suffolk, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £834 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £597 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,332, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, East Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £335,000 median sold price, £834 a month is £10,008 a year, a gross yield of 3.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

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%) |

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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
