IP30 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside IP30 (Bury St. Edmunds). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical IP30 0 home went from £62,200 in 1995 to £340,000 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. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 35% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the IP30 0 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 2006 (+51.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−21.9%). 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) | −13.9% | −15.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.6% | −2.1% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
IP30 0 recorded 16 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 59 sales a year recently, against 72 a year before 2008. 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 rental side of IP30 0
IP30 0 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.
£1,177 a month is £14,124 a year, which against the £340,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.
The shape of the IP30 0 market
This is a thin market: 16 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
Common questions on IP30 0 (Elmswell)
Are property prices falling in IP30 0 (Elmswell)?
Is IP30 0 (Elmswell) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in IP30 0 (Elmswell)?
Will IP30 0 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 4% over five years in cash but down 24% 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.

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
