Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on CO7: steady sales, so price from the evidence
250 sales since January 2026 make CO7 a steady market, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.
If you are thinking of selling, CO7 buyers have mostly paid between £222,700 and £557,000, so start from the nearest comparable sale and work outwards; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, CO7 sits above the UK average for typical prices, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.
Before an offer goes in on any CO7 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (110 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,342 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Our free CO7 OfferCheck puts the rest of the picture alongside these prices, and the Report explains which parts deserve a second look.

Area profile for CO7

Median across 12 sampled postcodes; 1 is the most deprived 10% of England, 10 the least.
Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled CO7 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 10, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
CO7 8LY, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so CO7 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in CO7: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in CO7, band by band
Babergh's council tax for 2026-27 set against the CO7 median sold price of £325,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearBabergh | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £325,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,561 | £130 | 0.48% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,821 | £152 | 0.56% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,081 | £173 | 0.64% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,342 | £195 | 0.72% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £2,862 | £239 | 0.88% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,382 | £282 | 1.04% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £3,903 | £325 | 1.20% |
| H | over £320,000 | £4,683 | £390 | 1.44% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the CO7 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
