Hamilton market report LE5 6, Leicester

The LE5 6 (Hamilton) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 3,203 sales registered with HM Land Registry in LE5 6 (Leicester) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: 24 registered 2026 sales put the LE5 6 (Leicester) median at £325,000, up 3% on five years earlier, with a mean of £325,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,310 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,203 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

A postcode sector like LE5 6 is a single group of streets within LE5 (Leicester), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What LE5 6 homes really sell for

The LE5 6 median stands at £325,000 for 2026, built from 24 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £325,200, nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.

What a square metre costs in LE5 6

Per square metre, LE5 6 homes have averaged around £3,310 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving LE5 6 14% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical LE5 6 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+29.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−5.6%). 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

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.

Transaction volumes

Over the last twelve months of data, 24 sales completed in LE5 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 140 sales a year before the financial crisis and 58 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 6

The local authority for LE5 6 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.

Set against the £325,000 median sold price, £1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: 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 6 market

Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LE5 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within LE5, this sector trades 18% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
