In cash terms the typical LE7 1 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £249,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 134%: 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 6% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LE7 1 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 (+39.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−5.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.2% | −4.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 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.
How many homes change hands in LE7 1
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
LE7 1 recorded 32 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 159 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 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.
Reading the LE7 1 market
This is a thin market: 32 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. Within LE7, this sector trades 20% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around LE7 1
LE7 1 falls under Charnwood, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £955 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £674 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,468 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Charnwood
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£955 a month is £11,460 a year, which against the £249,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: LE prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LE area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £285,000 | £380,000 (+33%) | £560,000 (+47%) | £795,000 (+42%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £242,000 (+15%) | £282,000 (+17%) | £360,000 (+28%) | £500,000 (+39%) |
| Terraced | £183,000 | £205,000 (+12%) | £243,500 (+19%) | £310,000 (+27%) | £402,500 (+30%) |
| Flat | £125,000 | £152,750 (+22%) | £210,000 (+37%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
