In cash terms the typical LE16 8 home went from £71,000 in 1995 to £382,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 148%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE16 8 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 (+22.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−11.4%). 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 year (since 2025) | −3.2% | −5.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.7% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in LE16 8
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
LE16 8 recorded 68 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 231 sales a year before the financial crisis and 165 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 tenants pay around LE16 8
LE16 8 falls under Harborough, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £962 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £706 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,579 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Harborough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £382,500 median sold price, £962 a month is £11,544 a year, a gross yield of 3.0%: 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.

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 | £251,746 | £280,000 (+11%) | £329,500 (+18%) | £415,000 (+26%) | £525,000 (+27%) |

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.
