IP4 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside IP4 (Ipswich). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical IP4 4 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £277,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 184%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IP4 4 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, 2009 (−12.5%). 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) | +0.9% | −1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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 IP4 4
Sales per year, counted
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.
IP4 4 recorded 43 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 218 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 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 IP4 4
IP4 4 falls under Ipswich, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Set against the £277,500 median sold price, £989 a month is £11,868 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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 IP4 4 trades
This is a thin market: 43 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 4 sits 11% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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. 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.

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
