LE7 9 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 9 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £400,000 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 2020. The market now sits about 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LE7 9 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 (+37.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−15.9%). 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) | +15.1% | +12.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in LE7 9
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
LE7 9 recorded 50 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 163 sales a year recently, against 170 a year before 2008. 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.
Rents around LE7 9
LE7 9 falls under Harborough, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £962 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £706 a month here against £1,579 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Harborough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£962 a month is £11,544 a year, which against the £400,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.9%. 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 LE7 9 market
This is a thin market: 50 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. Within LE7, this sector trades 28% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

How much did a house sell for in LE7 9 (Scraptoft)?
Are property prices falling in LE7 9 (Scraptoft)?
Will LE7 9 prices rise from here?

Moving up a bedroom in LE: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the LE area, straight 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.

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
