IP8 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside IP8 (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 IP8 3 home went from £49,500 in 1995 to £312,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 190%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IP8 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 2002 (+27.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What IP8 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +0.2% | −2.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.2% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Sales activity in IP8 3
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 50 IP8 3 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 231 sales a year before the financial crisis and 112 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around IP8 3
For renting purposes IP8 3 sits in Babergh. The ONS average private rent there is £972 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £722 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,612 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Babergh
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £312,500 median purchase price, a rent of £972 a month (£11,664 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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.
Reading the IP8 3 market
Only 50 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IP8 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 6% over five years in cash but down 16% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: IP prices by size
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 | £270,000 | £303,250 (+12%) | £355,000 (+17%) | £442,550 (+25%) | £540,000 (+22%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £238,000 (+13%) | £268,500 (+13%) | £320,000 (+19%) | £400,000 (+25%) |
| Terraced | £161,000 | £205,000 (+27%) | £230,000 (+12%) | £280,000 (+22%) | £330,000 (+18%) |
| Flat | £125,000 | £157,000 (+26%) | £211,000 (+34%) | £290,000 (+37%) | £402,500 (+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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
