LE6 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LE6 (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.

What buyers actually paid in LE6 0

In the LE6 0 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £278,000, from 74 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £335,300, sitting well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.

Price per square metre in LE6 0

By floor space, homes in LE6 0 have sold for about £3,410 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving LE6 0 2% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical LE6 0 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £278,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 141%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.5%). 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

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

The register shows 74 LE6 0 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 264 sales a year before the financial crisis and 162 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.

What homes rent for around LE6 0

LE6 0 falls under Hinckley and Bosworth, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £926 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £633 a month here against £1,402 for four or more bedrooms.

Against the £278,000 median purchase price, a rent of £926 a month (£11,112 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

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.
