In cash terms the typical LE12 5 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £355,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 133%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2010; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2010 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LE12 5 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 2001 (+51.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.4% | −5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.9% | 0.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 38 LE12 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 114 sales a year recently, against 129 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.
How LE12 5 trades
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LE12 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the LE12 district median, LE12 5 sits 29% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of LE12 5
For renting purposes LE12 5 sits in Charnwood. The ONS average private rent there is £955 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £674 a month here against £1,468 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Charnwood
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £355,000 median purchase price, a rent of £955 a month (£11,460 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.

LE12's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 332 homes at the moment, listed by 13 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole LE12 district, not just LE12 5: live asking prices are collected per district.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in LE: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the LE area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £285,000 | £380,000 (+33%) | £560,000 (+47%) | £795,000 (+42%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £242,000 (+15%) | £282,000 (+17%) | £360,000 (+28%) | £500,000 (+39%) |
| Terraced | £183,000 | £205,000 (+12%) | £243,500 (+19%) | £310,000 (+27%) | £402,500 (+30%) |
| Flat | £125,000 | £152,750 (+22%) | £210,000 (+37%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
