In cash terms the typical LE14 3 home went from £47,200 in 1995 to £262,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 156%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

Year-on-year change in the LE14 3 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 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2000 (−16.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Over the last twelve months of data, 50 sales completed in LE14 3. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 118 sales a year recently, against 138 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.

What homes rent for around LE14 3

The local authority for LE14 3 is Melton, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £791 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £546 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,345, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Set against the £262,500 median sold price, £791 a month is £9,492 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.

How LE14 3 trades

Only 50 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LE14 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the LE14 district median, LE14 3 sits 19% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Real searches this page gets asked

A lot of searches that reach this page are full postcodes, LE14 3LX among them. A full postcode is a street segment of a dozen or so homes, below even sector level; the medians on this page are the context, and the live map shows every recorded sale at those exact addresses.

Searches like house valuation in melton mowbray reach this page too. It offers no valuations, and that is deliberate: what it has is the record valuers themselves anchor on. Take the £262,500 2026 median above, then zoom the average prices map down to the sold homes on the street in question.

Bedroom by bedroom: LE prices by size

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.
