| 1996 | £40,000 | £84,358 | 167 |
| 1995 | £43,500 | £94,562 | 121 |
In cash terms the typical LE2 6 home went from £43,500 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 154%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LE2 6 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 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−8.0%). 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 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in LE2 6
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 register shows 41 LE2 6 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 223 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 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.
The shape of the LE2 6 market
Only 41 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LE2 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
Rents around LE2 6
LE2 6 falls under Leicester, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,024 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £717 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,459, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Leicester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, which against the £240,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. 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 is for sale in LE2 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 421 homes currently on the market from 15 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole LE2 district, not just LE2 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 25% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Bridgemere Close, Glen Parva, Leicest...
- Lockside Close, Glen Parva, Leicester
- Stoneycroft, Stoneygate Road, Stoneygate
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in LE: the cost
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%) |

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.
