In cash terms the typical IP32 7 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £297,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 130%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 27% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the IP32 7 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 2003 (+34.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What IP32 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.2% | −6.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.5% | −6.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
IP32 7 recorded 62 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 305 sales a year before the financial crisis and 133 a year over the last five. 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 IP32 7 market
Within IP32, this sector trades 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around IP32 7
IP32 7 falls under West Suffolk, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£1,177 a month is £14,124 a year, which against the £297,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £297,500 | £400,000 (+34%) | £587,000 (+47%) | £800,000 (+36%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
