In cash terms the typical LE8 9 home went from £66,000 in 1995 to £341,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 138%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 32% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LE8 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 2002 (+47.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−13.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LE8 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.7% | +0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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 9 recorded 33 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 73 sales a year recently, against 73 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of LE8 9
The local authority for LE8 9 is Harborough, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £962 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £706 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,579 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Harborough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £341,500 median sold price, £962 a month is £11,544 a year, a gross yield of 3.4%: 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.
The shape of the LE8 9 market
Only 33 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LE8 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 LE8, this sector trades 18% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Bedroom by bedroom: LE prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LE area. 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.
