Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on IP29: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
At around 11 sales a month, IP29 is quiet, which is too few for firm conclusions, so we would lean on individual sold homes rather than any average.
When selling here, detached homes typically sold for £490,000 against £265,000 for terraced homes, which explains a spread of £229,750 to £751,500, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; 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 houseFor buyers, IP29 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Before you offer in IP29, check planning history nearby (36 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,342 a year), and ask your conveyancer about the title.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free IP29 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Babergh (IP29) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £490,000 against £265,000 for terraced homes: about 1.8 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £229,750 and £751,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (98%) 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 11 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled IP29 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 6 to decile 7, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
IP29 5NH, 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.

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 IP29 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in IP29: 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 IP29, band by band
Babergh's council tax for 2026-27 set against the IP29 median sold price of £411,000 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÷ £411,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,561 | £130 | 0.38% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,821 | £152 | 0.44% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,081 | £173 | 0.51% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,342 | £195 | 0.57% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £2,862 | £239 | 0.70% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,382 | £282 | 0.82% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £3,903 | £325 | 0.95% |
| H | over £320,000 | £4,683 | £390 | 1.14% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the IP29 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.
