How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sparrows Yard | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector IP6 8 | £240,500 | £250,000 -4% since | £178,750 +35% since | £133,500 +80% since | £123,750 +94% since |

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in IP6 8, over the last five years (892 sales):
- What sells: 31% detached, 29% semi-detached, 23% terraced, 11% flats, 6% other.
- 12% sold leasehold, and 24% were new builds.
- 128 sales in the last twelve months, against 227 in the same twelve months five years ago.
