In cash terms the typical IP27 9 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £245,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 150%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IP27 9 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 (+35.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−14.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What IP27 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.0% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
IP27 9 recorded 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. 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 81 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 IP27 9 trades
This is a thin market: 29 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 rental side of IP27 9
IP27 9 falls under West Suffolk, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,177 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £813 a month here against £1,848 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £245,000 median sold price, £1,177 a month is £14,124 a year, a gross yield of 5.8%: 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 another bedroom costs in IP
What homes of each size actually sold for across the IP area, 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.
