In cash terms the typical LE16 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £333,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 179%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LE16 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 (+29.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.8%). 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 year (since 2025) | −3.5% | −5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.2% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 44% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £455,000 against £172,500 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
LE16 recorded 562 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 735 sales a year recently, against 902 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.
Rents around LE16
LE16 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.
Set against the £333,000 median sold price, £962 a month is £11,544 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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 is for sale against what sells in LE16
Terraced homes are 17% of what sold in LE16 over 2024 and 2025 but only 0% of what is listed now: they sell, and there are few to choose from, so a good one is unlikely to hang about.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 58% | 48% |
| Semi-detached | 42% | 27% |
| Terraced | 0% | 17% |
| Flats | 0% | 8% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side.
The LE16 sales calendar
March is when LE16 changes hands most (10.7% of the 4,473 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 5.8%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 260 | 5.8% |
| February | 337 | 7.5% |

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £251,746 | £280,000 (+11%) | £329,500 (+18%) | £415,000 (+26%) | £525,000 (+27%) |
| Semi-detached | £205,000 | £230,000 (+12%) | £255,000 (+11%) | £303,000 (+19%) | £367,750 (+21%) |
| Terraced | £175,000 | £200,000 (+14%) | £219,775 (+10%) | £273,250 (+24%) | £328,000 (+20%) |
| Flat | £115,000 | £140,000 (+22%) | £187,500 (+34%) | £240,000 (+28%) | £311,500 (+30%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
