LE5 0 is one sector of LE5 (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.

In cash terms the typical LE5 0 home went from £30,500 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 262%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LE5 0 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 1998 (+52.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2000 (−37.5%). 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) | −8.6% | −10.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.1% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
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, 22 sales completed in LE5 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 124 sales a year before the financial crisis and 55 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.
Rents around LE5 0
LE5 0 falls under Leicester, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,024 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £717 a month here against £1,459 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Leicester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £240,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,024 a month (£12,288 a year) works out at a 5.1% 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.
The shape of the LE5 0 market
Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LE5 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the LE5 district median, LE5 0 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in LE: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the LE area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
