| 1996 | £74,000 | £156,063 | 271 |
| 1995 | £82,000 | £178,255 | 242 |
In cash terms the typical LE2 4 home went from £82,000 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 91%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE2 4 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−15.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LE2 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.9% | −5.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in LE2 4
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in LE2 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 267 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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 LE2 4
The local authority for LE2 4 is Oadby and Wigston, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,024 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £733 a month here against £1,562 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Oadby and Wigston
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, which against the £340,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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 kind of market LE2 4 is
This is a thin market: 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within LE2, this sector trades 32% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

How much did a house sell for in LE2 4 (Oadby)?
Will LE2 4 prices rise from here?

These cover the whole LE2 district, not just LE2 4: live asking prices are collected per district.

- Bridgemere Close, Glen Parva, Leicest...
- Lockside Close, Glen Parva, Leicester
- Stoneycroft, Stoneygate Road, Stoneygate
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

The price of an extra bedroom in LE
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LE area. 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%) |
| Terraced | £183,000 | £205,000 (+12%) | £243,500 (+19%) | £310,000 (+27%) | £402,500 (+30%) |
| 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.
