Braunstone market report LE3 1, Leicester
The standing LE3 1 (Braunstone) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 3,284 sales registered with HM Land Registry in LE3 1 (Leicester) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for LE3 1 (Leicester) is £224,800, from 26 registered sales, up 20% on five years earlier; the mean is £219,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,540 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,284 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
LE3 1 is one sector of LE3 (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.

LE3 1 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical LE3 1 home went from £31,500 in 1995 to £224,800 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 228%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LE3 1 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 1999 (+38.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.6% | −1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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 LE3 1
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 26 sales completed in LE3 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 172 sales a year before the financial crisis and 58 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 kind of market LE3 1 is
This is a thin market: 26 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.
Rents around LE3 1
LE3 1 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.
Against the £224,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,024 a month (£12,288 a year) works out at a 5.5% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
Common questions on LE3 1 (Braunstone)
Is LE3 1 (Braunstone) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in LE3 1 (Braunstone)?
Are property prices falling in LE3 1 (Braunstone)?
Will LE3 1 prices rise from here?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 20% over five years in cash but down 5% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

What another bedroom costs in LE
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%) |
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
The risers and the fallers
The spread across the LE area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.
