In cash terms the typical LE5 4 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £275,200 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 242%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 7% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LE5 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 (+36.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.8%). 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) | +1.1% | −1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.8% | +2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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, 28 sales completed in LE5 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 214 sales a year before the financial crisis and 55 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 tenants pay around LE5 4
LE5 4 falls under Leicester, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,024 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £275,200 median sold price, £1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.
Reading the LE5 4 market
Only 28 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LE5 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Moving up a bedroom in LE: the cost
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.
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
