In the IP8 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £320,000, from 80 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £367,500, sitting a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
What a square metre costs in IP8

In cash terms the typical IP8 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 194%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IP8 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 (+29.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−13.5%). 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 year (since 2025) | −0.9% | −3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.9% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £410,000 against £170,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

How many homes change hands in IP8
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 last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 151 sales completed in IP8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 296 sales a year before the financial crisis and 186 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
For renting purposes IP8 sits in Babergh. The ONS average private rent there is £972 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £722 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,612, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Babergh
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £320,000 median purchase price, a rent of £972 a month (£11,664 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.

What happens to IP8 prices now?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 7% 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.
What is for sale in IP8 right now
Everything above is what homes in IP8 sold for. The live side of the market holds 21 homes at the moment, listed by 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 9% above the IP8 median sold price.
Set against 151 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 21 homes on the market here are roughly 7 weeks of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted.

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.
When homes in IP8 change hands
Take the 1,162 IP8 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: June completions lead with 11.4% of the total, April trails with 6.0%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 82 | 7.1% |
| February | 75 | 6.5% |

What another bedroom costs in IP
What homes of each size actually sold for across the IP area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| 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%) |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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.
