Needham Market market report IP6 0, Ipswich
The IP6 0 (Needham Market) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,269 sales registered with HM Land Registry in IP6 0 (Ipswich) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

In short: the middle 2026 sale in IP6 0 (Ipswich) came in at £275,000, out of 43 registered, up 3% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £298,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,500 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 4,269 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.
IP6 0 is one sector of IP6 (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 IP6 0 homes really sell for
The IP6 0 median stands at £275,000 for 2026, built from 43 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £298,200, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
Price per square metre in IP6 0
Per square metre, IP6 0 homes have averaged around £3,500 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so IP6 0 trades 4% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical IP6 0 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 181%: 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 IP6 0 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 1996 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−16.8%). 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) | −8.3% | −10.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
How many homes change hands in IP6 0
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.
The register shows 43 IP6 0 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 143 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 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.
The rental side of IP6 0
The local authority for IP6 0 is Mid Suffolk, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £994 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £712 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,570, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Mid Suffolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £275,000 median purchase price, a rent of £994 a month (£11,928 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.
The shape of the IP6 0 market
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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

What you could buy in IP6 now
Turning to what is actually available: 62 homes on the market right now, from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole IP6 district, not just IP6 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
20% 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.
- Chestnut Rise, Witnesham, Ipswich
- Masons Drive, Great Blakenham, Ipswich
- Lower Road, Westerfield, Ipswich, Suffolk
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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in IP
What homes of each size actually sold for across the IP area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| 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%) |

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.
