LE5 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LE5 (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 LE5 5 home went from £49,200 in 1995 to £295,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 176%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 15% 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 5 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 2003 (+43.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.5%). 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) | +7.3% | +4.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.7% | +2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Sales activity in LE5 5
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
LE5 5 recorded 37 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 200 sales a year before the financial crisis and 66 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.
What homes rent for around LE5 5
The local authority for LE5 5 is Leicester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,024 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £717 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,459, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Leicester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, which against the £295,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the LE5 5 market
This is a thin market: 37 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. 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.

What another bedroom costs in LE
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LE area, 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.

| Detached | — | £285,000 | £380,000 (+33%) | £560,000 (+47%) | £795,000 (+42%) |
