What IP3 8 homes really sell for
Take the 75 registered 2026 sales in IP3 8 and the middle price, the median, is £265,000. The mean lands at £280,800, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
IP3 8 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of IP3 8 sales average about £3,130 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, IP3 8 runs 7% below it.

In cash terms the typical IP3 8 home went from £51,200 in 1995 to £265,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 138%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IP3 8 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 (+27.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−14.1%). 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) | −1.9% | −4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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 IP3 8
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 75 sales completed in IP3 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 334 sales a year before the financial crisis and 165 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.
The shape of the IP3 8 market
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 IP3 district median, IP3 8 sits 10% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around IP3 8
The local authority for IP3 8 is Ipswich, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £989 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £739 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,465, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Ipswich
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£989 a month is £11,868 a year, which against the £265,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in IP
Real sold prices by size across the IP area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £215,000 | £252,000 (+17%) | £295,000 (+17%) | £380,750 (+29%) | £527,500 (+39%) |

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