In cash terms the typical LS15 home went from £55,200 in 1995 to £263,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 120%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LS15 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 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LS15 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.6% | −2.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 55% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £340,000 against £145,000 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 437 sales completed in LS15. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 701 sales a year before the financial crisis and 471 a year over the last five. 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.
Rents around LS15
For renting purposes LS15 sits in Leeds. The ONS average private rent there is £1,134 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £774 a month here against £1,677 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Leeds
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,134 a month is £13,608 a year, which against the £263,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.2%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in LS: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LS area, from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £298,000 | £425,000 (+43%) | £675,000 (+59%) | £900,000 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £205,000 | £230,000 (+12%) | £295,000 (+28%) | £431,000 (+46%) | £602,500 (+40%) |

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.
