LE4 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LE4 (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.

| 1996 | £47,000 | £99,121 | 101 |
| 1995 | £47,000 | £102,171 | 117 |
In cash terms the typical LE4 4 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £281,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 175%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE4 4 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 (+28.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−12.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.9% | −1.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
The register shows 23 LE4 4 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 122 sales a year before the financial crisis and 75 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 LE4 4 trades
This is a thin market: 23 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.
What tenants pay around LE4 4
The local authority for LE4 4 is Charnwood, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £955 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £674 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,468 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Charnwood
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £281,000 median purchase price, a rent of £955 a month (£11,460 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.

What you could buy in LE4 now
Turning to what is actually available: 252 homes on the market right now, from 12 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole LE4 district, not just LE4 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 22% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: LE prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LE area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
