In cash terms the typical LE13 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £233,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 128%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 21% 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 LE13 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 2002 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−6.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £305,000 against £122,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

What LE13 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.9% | −7.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |

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.
How many homes change hands in LE13
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
LE13 recorded 385 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 613 sales a year before the financial crisis and 473 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Rents around LE13
LE13 falls under Melton, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £791 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £546 a month here against £1,345 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Melton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£791 a month is £9,492 a year, which against the £233,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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 another bedroom costs in LE
Real sold prices by size across the LE area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £285,000 | £380,000 (+33%) | £560,000 (+47%) | £795,000 (+42%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
