In cash terms the typical LE16 9 home went from £48,500 in 1995 to £307,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 192%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LE16 9 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 (+31.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−13.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.9% | −6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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 9
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
LE16 9 recorded 106 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 285 sales a year recently, against 317 a year before 2008. 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.
What homes rent for around LE16 9
The local authority for LE16 9 is Harborough, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£962 a month is £11,544 a year, which against the £307,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LE area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
