In cash terms the typical LE16 7 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 195%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE16 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 1999 (+32.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−14.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.0% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 87 LE16 7 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 355 sales a year before the financial crisis and 272 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.
Reading the LE16 7 market
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What homes rent for around LE16 7
LE16 7 falls under Harborough, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £962 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £706 a month here against £1,579 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Harborough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £340,000 median purchase price, a rent of £962 a month (£11,544 a year) works out at a 3.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
