How Sidegate Lane, Ipswich prices moved
The chart tracks the median Sidegate Lane, Ipswich house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2024. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 5 | £67,475 | £149,826 |
| 2000s | 9 | £153,725 | £280,042 |
| 2010s | 9 | £235,000 | £331,350 |
| 2020s | 4 | £250,750 | £256,201 |
The highest yearly median on record for Sidegate Lane, Ipswich is £343,250 in 2024; the lowest is £52,000 in 1996. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £67,475 to £343,250.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £149,826, so the real change over the whole record is +141.1% — about +3.08% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +49.2% in cash against +9.5% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Sidegate Lane, Ipswich values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Sidegate Lane, Ipswich is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 143 | 58.1% | £165,000 | £30,000 – £405,000 |
| Detached | 86 | 35.0% | £225,000 | £55,000 – £493,500 |
| Flat or maisonette | 14 | 5.7% | £92,000 | £31,000 – £147,500 |
| Terraced | 3 | 1.2% | £74,000 | £46,000 – £140,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Sidegate Lane, Ipswich
12 of the sales on record are leasehold and 234 freehold — 4.9% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £93,500 and the median freehold sale £183,500 — a gap of +96.3%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 12 | 4.9% | £93,500 |
| Freehold | 234 | 95.1% | £183,500 |
| New build | 1 | 0.4% | £43,000 |
| Existing home | 245 | 99.6% | £173,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -75.1%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 7 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

How Sidegate Lane, Ipswich compares

Within Ipswich the street ranks 1071 of 2348 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £147,500 (+17.3%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,024 per square metre, across 41 of the 246 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Sidegate Lane, Ipswich sits in East Suffolk, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in East Suffolk at 7.8 times median local earnings of £37,025 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Sidegate Lane, Ipswich?
The median price paid in Sidegate Lane, Ipswich across every sale on the register is £173,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.

When were Sidegate Lane, Ipswich house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £343,250, set in 2024. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Sidegate Lane, Ipswich?
£2,024 per square metre, from the 41 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
