In cash terms the typical LE15 6 home went from £54,500 in 1995 to £273,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 131%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LE15 6 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 (+29.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LE15 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.8% | −11.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in LE15 6
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 66 sales completed in LE15 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 324 sales a year before the financial crisis and 173 a year over the last five. 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.
The shape of the LE15 6 market
Within LE15, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around LE15 6
LE15 6 falls under Rutland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £964 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £677 a month here against £1,523 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Rutland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£964 a month is £11,568 a year, which against the £273,500 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 another bedroom costs in LE
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £285,000 | £380,000 (+33%) | £560,000 (+47%) | £795,000 (+42%) |
