Behind the figures sit 6,150 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
LE2 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LE2 (Leicester). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical LE2 8 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 178%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE2 8 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 (+26.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−4.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LE2 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.1% | −4.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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
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.
LE2 8 recorded 59 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 277 sales a year before the financial crisis and 133 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.
What tenants pay around LE2 8
The local authority for LE2 8 is Leicester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Set against the £230,000 median sold price, £1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: 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.
Reading the LE2 8 market
This is a thin market: 59 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 11% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

How much did a house sell for in LE2 8 (Oadby)?
Are property prices falling in LE2 8 (Oadby)?
Are LE2 8 prices heading up or down?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 7% over five years in cash but down 16% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Refreshed every Monday and Thursday from agents' own feeds to HomesIndex, so a sample of the market rather than all of it. An asking price remains an ask, not a sale.
Bedroom by bedroom: LE prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LE area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
