Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 2,425 sales registered with HM Land Registry in IP9 1 (Ipswich) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh. Page updated 19 October 2026.

In short: a typical IP9 1 (Ipswich) home changed hands for £282,500 in 2026 (median of 32 registered sales, down 3% on five years earlier), with the mean at £327,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,480 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 2,425 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

IP9 1 is one sector of IP9 (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 buyers actually paid in IP9 1

In the IP9 1 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £282,500, from 32 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £327,100, sitting well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.

Price per square metre in IP9 1

The last five years of sales put IP9 1 at roughly £3,480 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 IP9 1 1% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical IP9 1 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £282,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 233%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

The strongest year on record here is 1997 (+38.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.0%). 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

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

IP9 1 recorded 32 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 95 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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.

Reading the IP9 1 market

This is a thin market: 32 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the IP9 district median, IP9 1 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The rental side of IP9 1

IP9 1 falls under Babergh, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £972 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.

£972 a month is £11,664 a year, which against the £282,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

IP9 1 (Capel St Mary): the questions that come up

Where do IP9 1 prices go next?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is down 3% over five years in cash but down 23% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

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.
