In cash terms the typical LE8 0 home went from £76,500 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 80%: 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 38% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LE8 0 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 2010 (+55.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−29.9%). 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) | −15.5% | −17.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.7% | −9.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.5% |
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 LE8 0
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 37 sales completed in LE8 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 134 sales a year before the financial crisis and 102 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.
How LE8 0 trades
This is a thin market: 37 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.
What tenants pay around LE8 0
LE8 0 falls under Harborough, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £962 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £706 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,579, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Harborough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £300,000 median sold price, £962 a month is £11,544 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.

What another bedroom costs in LE
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.
