In cash terms the typical IP33 3 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £281,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 140%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 31% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the IP33 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 2000 (+35.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−19.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What IP33 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.0% | −9.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.7% | −7.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 70 IP33 3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 262 sales a year before the financial crisis and 174 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.
What tenants pay around IP33 3
The local authority for IP33 3 is West Suffolk, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,177 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £813 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,848, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, West Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £281,200 median sold price, £1,177 a month is £14,124 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: 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 shape of the IP33 3 market
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.

Bedroom by bedroom: IP prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the IP area. 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%) |
