Blaby market report LE8 5, Leicester
The LE8 5 (Blaby) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 3,963 sales registered with HM Land Registry in LE8 5 (Leicester) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 41 registered 2026 sales put the LE8 5 (Leicester) median at £315,000, up 19% on five years earlier, with a mean of £330,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,380 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,963 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
LE8 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LE8 (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 LE8 5 home went from £52,600 in 1995 to £315,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 175%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE8 5 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 (+32.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +11.1% | +8.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
Sales activity in LE8 5
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.
LE8 5 recorded 41 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 137 sales a year before the financial crisis and 84 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.
What tenants pay around LE8 5
For renting purposes LE8 5 sits in Blaby. The ONS average private rent there is £982 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £700 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,547, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Blaby
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£982 a month is £11,784 a year, which against the £315,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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.
What kind of market LE8 5 is
Only 41 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LE8 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within LE8, this sector trades 9% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Common questions on LE8 5 (Blaby)
Is LE8 5 (Blaby) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in LE8 5 (Blaby)?
Are property prices falling in LE8 5 (Blaby)?
Where do LE8 5 prices go next?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 19% over five years in cash but down 6% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
LE8's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 160 homes at the moment, listed by 11 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole LE8 district, not just LE8 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 29% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in LE
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%) |
| Terraced | £183,000 | £205,000 (+12%) | £243,500 (+19%) | £310,000 (+27%) | £402,500 (+30%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
