Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on IP26: a quiet market, so take your time
IP26 is a thin market, at roughly 12 sales a month, which is too few for firm conclusions, so we would lean on individual sold homes rather than any average.
If you are thinking of selling, IP26 buyers have mostly paid between £185,000 and £531,000, so compare like with like on type, size and condition; with so few sales, allow extra time and a local agent’s view; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, IP26 sits close to the UK average for typical prices, so use the sold range on this page as your yardstick.
On any IP26 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (13 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,444 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
Averages only go so far, so the free IP26 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the Breckland (IP26) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £317,500 against £187,000 for terraced homes: about 1.7 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Nearly all of these sales (98%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is a quiet district: only about 12 recorded sales a month.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled IP26 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 5, with a median of decile 4 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
IP26 4PZ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 4 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 IP26 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in IP26: 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 IP26, band by band
Breckland's council tax for 2026-27 set against the IP26 median sold price of £265,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearBreckland | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £265,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,629 | £136 | 0.61% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,901 | £158 | 0.72% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,172 | £181 | 0.82% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,444 | £204 | 0.92% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £2,987 | £249 | 1.13% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,530 | £294 | 1.33% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £4,073 | £339 | 1.54% |
| H | over £320,000 | £4,887 | £407 | 1.84% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the IP26 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.
