In cash terms the typical IP32 6 home went from £44,300 in 1995 to £255,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 165%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 35% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the IP32 6 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 2018 (+32.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−11.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What IP32 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.4% | −8.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.5% | −7.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 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.
Sales activity in IP32 6
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 61 IP32 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 169 sales a year over the last five years against 150 before the financial crisis. 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.
Rents around IP32 6
The local authority for IP32 6 is West Suffolk, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,177 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £813 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,848 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, West Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £255,000 median sold price, £1,177 a month is £14,124 a year, a gross yield of 5.5%: 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.
How IP32 6 trades
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.

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. 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.
