LE3 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LE3 (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 LE3 2 home went from £42,500 in 1995 to £266,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 188%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE3 2 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, 1996 (−5.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LE3 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.5% | +4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.6% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
How many homes change hands in LE3 2
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 54 LE3 2 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 310 sales a year before the financial crisis and 133 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 2 is
This is a thin market: 54 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. Against the LE3 district median, LE3 2 sits 10% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around LE3 2
For renting purposes LE3 2 sits in Blaby. The ONS average private rent there is £982 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £700 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,547, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Blaby
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £266,200 median sold price, £982 a month is £11,784 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in LE
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LE area. 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%) |
