| 1996 | £65,000 | £137,082 | 354 |
| 1995 | £63,500 | £138,039 | 299 |
In cash terms the typical LE17 home went from £63,500 in 1995 to £315,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 128%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 27% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE17 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 2001 (+34.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.5%). 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) | −9.5% | −11.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 57% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £415,000 against £118,500 for a flat, 3.5 times the price.

Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 264 LE17 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 476 sales a year before the financial crisis and 290 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the LE17 market
LE17 sits 3 of 21 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
Rents around LE17
The local authority for LE17 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 £315,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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.

Are property prices falling in LE17 (Leire)?
Is LE17 (Leire) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in LE17 (Leire)?
What happens to LE17 prices now?

What you could buy in LE17 now

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: LE prices by size
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 | — | £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%) |

| Flat | £125,000 | £152,750 (+22%) | £210,000 (+37%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
