| 1995 | £68,800 | £149,561 | 294 |
In cash terms the typical LE12 8 home went from £68,800 in 1995 to £330,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 121%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LE12 8 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 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−5.5%). 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) | +2.5% | +0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 91 sales completed in LE12 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 306 sales a year before the financial crisis and 236 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around LE12 8
For renting purposes LE12 8 sits in Charnwood. The ONS average private rent there is £955 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £674 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,468, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Charnwood
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £330,000 median sold price, £955 a month is £11,460 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Bedroom by bedroom: LE prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LE area. 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%) |

| Flat | £125,000 | £152,750 (+22%) | £210,000 (+37%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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.
