IP5 1 is one sector of IP5 (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.

Price per square metre in IP5 1

In cash terms the typical IP5 1 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 165%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the IP5 1 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 (+49.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−9.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.4% | −3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
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.
IP5 1 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 98 sales a year before the financial crisis and 68 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 IP5 1
IP5 1 falls under East Suffolk, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £834 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £597 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,332 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, East Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £345,000 median sold price, £834 a month is £10,008 a year, a gross yield of 2.9%: 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 IP5 1 market
This is a thin market: 27 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.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 3% over five years in cash but down 19% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
IP5's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 51 homes at the moment, listed by 10 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole IP5 district, not just IP5 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
36% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
- Masterson Grove, Kesgrave, Ipswich, Suffolk
- Terry Gardens, Kesgrave, Ipswich, Suffolk
- Yewtree Grove, Kesgrave, Ipswich, Suf...
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: IP prices by size
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £297,500 | £400,000 (+34%) | £587,000 (+47%) | £800,000 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | £215,000 | £252,000 (+17%) | £295,000 (+17%) | £380,750 (+29%) | £527,500 (+39%) |
| Terraced | £195,000 | £220,000 (+13%) | £260,000 (+18%) | £337,500 (+30%) | £510,000 (+51%) |
| Flat | £136,750 | £180,000 (+32%) | £290,000 (+61%) | — | — |
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.
The risers and the fallers
