IP4 2 is one sector of IP4 (Ipswich): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What IP4 2 homes really sell for

What a square metre costs in IP4 2
Measured by floor area, the last five years of IP4 2 sales average about £2,810 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

In cash terms the typical IP4 2 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 142%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the IP4 2 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 (+24.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What IP4 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.1% | −11.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.9% | −6.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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 IP4 2
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.
IP4 2 recorded 47 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 223 sales a year before the financial crisis and 103 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around IP4 2
For renting purposes IP4 2 sits in Ipswich. The ONS average private rent there is £989 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £739 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,465, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Ipswich
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £200,000 median purchase price, a rent of £989 a month (£11,868 a year) works out at a 5.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market IP4 2 is
This is a thin market: 47 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. Against the IP4 district median, IP4 2 sits 20% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in IP
Real sold prices by size across the IP area, straight 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.
