In cash terms the typical IP21 4 home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £305,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 151%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the IP21 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 2002 (+34.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What IP21 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.7% | −0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Sales activity in IP21 4
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 register shows 35 IP21 4 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 129 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 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.
Reading the IP21 4 market
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IP21 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
The rental side of IP21 4
IP21 4 falls under South Norfolk, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £981 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £696 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,574, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, South Norfolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£981 a month is £11,772 a year, which against the £305,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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.

Are property prices falling in IP21 4 (Harleston)?
Is IP21 4 (Harleston) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in IP21 4 (Harleston)?
Will IP21 4 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

The price of an extra bedroom in IP
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the IP area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
