Underneath every chart here sit 2,157 registered sales in IP8 4 (Ipswich) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents.

In short: the middle 2026 sale in IP8 4 (Ipswich) came in at £337,500, out of 26 registered, up 9% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £426,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,570 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 2,157 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.

IP8 4 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.

What buyers actually paid in IP8 4

The 2026 median for IP8 4 is £337,500, taken from 26 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £426,400, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

IP8 4 prices by floor area

The last five years of sales put IP8 4 at roughly £3,570 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving IP8 4 18% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical IP8 4 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £337,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 199%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2017 (+37.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−30.3%). 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

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.

The turnover behind the prices

The register shows 26 IP8 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 71 sales a year recently, against 65 a year before 2008. 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.

Reading the IP8 4 market

Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes IP8 4 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.

What homes rent for around IP8 4

For renting purposes IP8 4 sits in Mid Suffolk. The ONS average private rent there is £994 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £712 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,570 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

Against the £337,500 median purchase price, a rent of £994 a month (£11,928 a year) works out at a 3.5% 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.

Asked and answered: IP8 4 (Copdock)

Will IP8 4 prices rise from here?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 9% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
