In cash terms the typical LE15 7 home went from £73,000 in 1995 to £279,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 76%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2004; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2004 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LE15 7 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 2000 (+35.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−14.2%). 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) | −14.2% | −16.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.4% | −6.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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.
Sales activity in LE15 7
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.
LE15 7 recorded 54 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 131 sales a year recently, against 156 a year before 2008. 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.
The shape of the LE15 7 market
This is a thin market: 54 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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.
The rental side of LE15 7
LE15 7 falls under Rutland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £964 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £677 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,523, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Rutland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £279,000 median sold price, £964 a month is £11,568 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: 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.

Turning to what is actually available: 259 homes on the market right now, from 10 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole LE15 district, not just LE15 7: live asking prices are collected per district.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in LE
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LE area, 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%) |
