LE12 sold prices: where the market stands
Take the 543 registered 2026 sales in LE12 and the middle price, the median, is £275,000. The mean lands at £320,300, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
What a square metre costs in LE12
Measured by floor area, the last five years of LE12 sales average about £3,200 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts LE12 4% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical LE12 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. 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 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 (+34.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.1%). 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 year (since 2025) | −5.2% | −7.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.4% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £411,000 against £132,500 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

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 monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
LE12 recorded 964 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,435 sales a year before the financial crisis and 1,118 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 tenants pay around LE12
LE12 falls under Charnwood, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £955 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£955 a month is £11,460 a year, which against the £275,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.

What happens to LE12 prices now?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 8% over five years in cash but down 15% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.

At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (964 in LE12), the 260 homes listed here amount to about 3 months of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher.

Listed against sold: the LE12 mix
Sellers of detached homes in LE12 have company: 64% of current listings against 43% of recent sales. When a type is offered faster than it sells, the buyer usually holds the better hand.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 64% | 43% |
| Semi-detached | 28% | 34% |
| Terraced | 8% | 19% |
| Flats | 0% | 4% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares (19 here).
Month by month: when LE12 sells
Across the 6,694 sales completed in LE12 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (10.9% of the total) and January the quietest (6.3%). The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 425 | 6.3% |
| February | 523 | 7.8% |
| March | 732 | 10.9% |
| April | 509 | 7.6% |

Moving up a bedroom in LE: the cost
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 | £251,746 | £280,000 (+11%) | £329,500 (+18%) | £415,000 (+26%) | £525,000 (+27%) |
| Semi-detached | £205,000 | £230,000 (+12%) | £255,000 (+11%) | £303,000 (+19%) | £367,750 (+21%) |
| Terraced | £175,000 | £200,000 (+14%) | £219,775 (+10%) | £273,250 (+24%) | £328,000 (+20%) |
| Flat | £115,000 | £140,000 (+22%) | £187,500 (+34%) | £240,000 (+28%) | £311,500 (+30%) |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
