In cash terms the typical DE12 7 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £253,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 184%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DE12 7 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 1996 (+39.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −1.2% | −3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.3% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in DE12 7
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 62 DE12 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 222 sales a year before the financial crisis and 125 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
How DE12 7 trades
Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
The rental side of DE12 7
For renting purposes DE12 7 sits in North West Leicestershire. The ONS average private rent there is £905 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £627 a month here against £1,406 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £253,500 median purchase price, a rent of £905 a month (£10,860 a year) works out at a 4.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Bedroom by bedroom: DE prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DE area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
