Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on IP31: steady sales, so price from the evidence

IP31 sees about 22 sales a month, which is enough to price from, though not enough history for us to call a clear twelve-month direction.

If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £212,450 to £690,000 makes £352,500 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.

Sell house

If you are looking to buy, typical prices in IP31 sit above the UK average, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.

Before an offer goes in on any IP31 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (61 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,317 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.

Averages only go so far, so the free IP31 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English

What the Mid Suffolk (IP31) numbers mean

  • The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £422,500 against £227,500 for terraced homes: about 1.9 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
  • Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £212,450 and £690,000, so the median says little about any one home.
  • Nearly all of these sales (96%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
  • This is an active district: about 22 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled IP31 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 9, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

IP31 2XB, 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 IP31 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in IP31: 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 IP31, band by band

Mid Suffolk's council tax for 2026-27 set against the IP31 median sold price of £352,500 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the IP31 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.

Questions, answered

The IP31 report: your questions

What is the average house price in IP31?
The typical (median) sold price in IP31 is £352,500, from 250 recorded sales between 3 September 2025 and 13 August 2026. Most sales fell between £212,450 and £690,000. That is above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
What does each type of home cost in IP31?
Typical sold prices by type in IP31: detached homes £422,500 (132 sales), semi-detached homes £285,000 (72 sales), terraced homes £227,500 (32 sales), flats £110,000 (5 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in IP31?
IP31 is billed by Mid Suffolk, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,317 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band. Look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near IP31?
The Department for Education's register lists 2 open schools within 3 km of the IP31 district centre, the nearest being Ixworth Church of England Primary School (last Ofsted grade: Good). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
How up to date are the IP31 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Is IP31 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 IP31 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 5 to decile 9, with a median of decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like IP31 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near IP31?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 61 applications within 500 m of the IP31 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in IP31 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 248 distinct addresses in the records we hold for IP31, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
Does IP31 cover my exact street?
IP31 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges, not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
