In cash terms the typical DE74 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £272,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 120%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DE74 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.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.6% | −9.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 48% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £360,000 against £153,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

Sales activity in DE74
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 188 sales completed in DE74. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 254 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.
The rental side of DE74
The local authority for DE74 is North West Leicestershire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £905 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £627 a month here against £1,406 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, North West Leicestershire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£905 a month is £10,860 a year, which against the £272,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £255,000 | £348,918 (+37%) | £540,000 (+55%) | £710,000 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £177,000 | £205,000 (+16%) | £247,000 (+20%) | £318,950 (+29%) | £452,500 (+42%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
