In cash terms the typical IP30 9 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £330,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 117%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the IP30 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 (+36.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−23.7%). 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) | −5.7% | −7.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The register shows 58 IP30 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 197 sales a year recently, against 199 a year before 2008. 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.
What kind of market IP30 9 is
This is a thin market: 58 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 IP30 9
For renting purposes IP30 9 sits in Mid Suffolk. The ONS average private rent there is £994 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £712 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,570, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Mid Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£994 a month is £11,928 a year, which against the £330,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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
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.
