In cash terms the typical LE15 home went from £66,800 in 1995 to £301,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 107%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LE15 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 (+20.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.2%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 48% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £430,000 against £135,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

What LE15 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.1% | −10.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.8% |
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
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.
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.
The register shows 450 LE15 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 759 sales a year before the financial crisis and 471 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 kind of market LE15 is
LE15 sits 5 of 21 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What tenants pay around LE15
For renting purposes LE15 sits in Rutland. The ONS average private rent there is £964 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £677 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,523 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Rutland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £301,200 median sold price, £964 a month is £11,568 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in LE
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LE area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £285,000 | £380,000 (+33%) | £560,000 (+47%) | £795,000 (+42%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £242,000 (+15%) | £282,000 (+17%) | £360,000 (+28%) | £500,000 (+39%) |
| Terraced | £183,000 | £205,000 (+12%) | £243,500 (+19%) | £310,000 (+27%) | £402,500 (+30%) |
| Flat | £125,000 | £152,750 (+22%) | £210,000 (+37%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
