A postcode sector like LE3 9 is a single group of streets within LE3 (Leicester), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

In cash terms the typical LE3 9 home went from £34,500 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 193%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE3 9 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 (+44.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−10.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
How many homes change hands in LE3 9
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.
LE3 9 recorded 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 343 sales a year before the financial crisis and 106 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
How LE3 9 trades
Only 53 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LE3 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the LE3 district median, LE3 9 sits 9% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of LE3 9
For renting purposes LE3 9 sits in Leicester. The ONS average private rent there is £1,024 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £717 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,459 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Leicester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £220,000 median sold price, £1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, a gross yield of 5.6%: 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 price of an extra bedroom 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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
