In cash terms the typical IP4 3 home went from £67,500 in 1995 to £312,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 113%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the IP4 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 2003 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−15.1%). 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) | −1.7% | −4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.0% | −6.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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 3 recorded 17 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 68 sales a year before the financial crisis and 45 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.
How IP4 3 trades
This is a thin market: 17 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. 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. Within IP4, this sector trades 25% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around IP4 3
The local authority for IP4 3 is Ipswich, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £989 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £739 a month here against £1,465 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Ipswich
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £312,000 median purchase price, a rent of £989 a month (£11,868 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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.

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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. 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.
