Summary
House prices in IP18: the typical (median) sold price is £450,000, well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026).

By property type, 42% were detached homes (typically £557,500) and 34% were terraced homes (typically £402,500).

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on IP18: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
At around 8 sales a month, IP18 is quiet, so the median can look stronger than the market really is.
When selling here, detached homes typically sold for £557,500 against £270,500 for flats, which explains a spread of £222,700 to £951,000, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseFor buyers, typical prices in IP18 sit well above the UK average, and rising, so do not let a fast-moving market push you past what the sold homes of your type support.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (583 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,335 a year); your conveyancer should look at the title too.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free IP18 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the East Suffolk (IP18) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £557,500 against £270,500 for flats: about 2.1 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £222,700 and £951,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (91%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 8 recorded sales a month.

These are East Suffolk's charges for 2026-27, the authority IP18 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled IP18 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 7, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
IP18 6LQ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 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 IP18 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in IP18: 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 IP18, band by band
East Suffolk's council tax for 2026-27 set against the IP18 median sold price of £450,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearEast Suffolk | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £450,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,557 | £130 | 0.35% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,670 | £389 | 1.04% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the IP18 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.
