Harleston market report IP21 5, Diss
The standing IP21 5 (Harleston) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 2,517 sales registered with HM Land Registry in IP21 5 (Diss) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for IP21 5 (Diss) is £350,000, from 23 registered sales, up 3% on five years earlier; the mean is £379,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,550 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 2,517 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
IP21 5 is one sector of IP21 (Diss): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical IP21 5 home went from £76,500 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 110%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IP21 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 2001 (+31.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−24.9%). 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) | −17.6% | −19.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in IP21 5
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.
IP21 5 recorded 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 101 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around IP21 5
IP21 5 falls under Mid Suffolk, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £994 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £712 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,570 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Mid Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £350,000 median sold price, £994 a month is £11,928 a year, a gross yield of 3.4%: 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.
What kind of market IP21 5 is
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 IP21 district median, IP21 5 sits 12% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Is IP21 5 (Harleston) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in IP21 5 (Harleston)?
Are property prices falling in IP21 5 (Harleston)?
Where do IP21 5 prices go next?

What is for sale in IP21 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 85 homes currently on the market from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole IP21 district, not just IP21 5: live asking prices are collected per district.

- Pretty Drive, Scole, Diss
- Millers Drive, Dickleburgh, Diss, Diss
- Waveney Heights, Brockdish, Diss, Diss
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in IP
Real sold prices by size across the IP area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
