In cash terms the typical DE74 2 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £270,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 118%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DE74 2 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 2003 (+32.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.9% | −10.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 83 sales completed in DE74 2. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 229 sales a year recently, against 260 a year before 2008. 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.
Rents around DE74 2
For renting purposes DE74 2 sits in North West Leicestershire. The ONS average private rent there is £905 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £627 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,406 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North West Leicestershire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £270,000 median purchase price, a rent of £905 a month (£10,860 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in DE: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the DE area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
