Oadby market report LE2 7, Leicester

The LE2 7 (Oadby) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 2,730 HM Land Registry entries for LE2 7 (Leicester), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: a typical LE2 7 (Leicester) home changed hands for £167,500 in 2026 (median of 14 registered sales, up 5% on five years earlier), with the mean at £166,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,480 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 2,730 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

LE2 7 is one sector of LE2 (Leicester): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What a home in LE2 7 sells for

The LE2 7 median stands at £167,500 for 2026, built from 14 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £166,000, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.

LE2 7 prices by floor area

By floor space, homes in LE2 7 have sold for about £2,480 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, LE2 7 runs 41% below it.

In cash terms the typical LE2 7 home went from £33,200 in 1995 to £167,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 132%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2005. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+32.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−10.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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.

Transaction volumes

LE2 7 recorded 14 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 126 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 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.

The rental side of LE2 7

For renting purposes LE2 7 sits in Leicester. The ONS average private rent there is £1,024 a month (May 2026). 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.

Set against the £167,500 median sold price, £1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, a gross yield of 7.3%: 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.

The shape of the LE2 7 market

This is a thin market: 14 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within LE2, this sector trades 35% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Common questions on LE2 7 (Oadby)

Will LE2 7 prices rise from here?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 5% over five years in cash but down 17% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
