LE7 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LE7 (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 LE7 7 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £315,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 142%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE7 7 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 (+41.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−14.1%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.1% | +0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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 year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
LE7 7 recorded 112 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 286 sales a year before the financial crisis and 209 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 7 market
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.
The rental side of LE7 7
For renting purposes LE7 7 sits in Charnwood. The ONS average private rent there is £955 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £315,000 median purchase price, a rent of £955 a month (£11,460 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.

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. 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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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