Underneath every chart here sit 4,657 registered sales in IP31 3 (Bury St. Edmunds) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents.

IP31 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside IP31 (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.

| 1995 | £63,200 | £137,387 | 162 |
In cash terms the typical IP31 3 home went from £63,200 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 151%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IP31 3 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 2002 (+43.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−19.1%). 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) | −0.9% | −3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in IP31 3
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
IP31 3 recorded 41 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 167 sales a year recently, against 153 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.
The shape of the IP31 3 market
This is a thin market: 41 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 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.
What tenants pay around IP31 3
IP31 3 falls under Mid Suffolk, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £994 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £345,000 median sold price, £994 a month is £11,928 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in IP
What homes of each size actually sold for across the IP area, 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £195,000 | £220,000 (+13%) | £260,000 (+18%) | £337,500 (+30%) | £510,000 (+51%) |
| Flat | £136,750 | £180,000 (+32%) | £290,000 (+61%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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.
