South East Ipswich market report IP3 9, Ipswich
The IP3 9 (South East Ipswich) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 6,133 sales registered with HM Land Registry in IP3 9 (Ipswich) 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.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 53 registered 2026 sales put the IP3 9 (Ipswich) median at £245,000, up 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £263,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,910 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 6,133 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
A postcode sector like IP3 9 is a single group of streets within IP3 (Ipswich), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

In cash terms the typical IP3 9 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £245,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 156%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. 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 IP3 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 2000 (+26.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.5%). 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) | +2.1% | −0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +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 IP3 9
How many homes change hands
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 53 IP3 9 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 314 sales a year before the financial crisis and 115 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 kind of market IP3 9 is
This is a thin market: 53 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.
What homes rent for around IP3 9
For renting purposes IP3 9 sits in Ipswich. The ONS average private rent there is £989 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £245,000 median sold price, £989 a month is £11,868 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in IP: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the IP area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
