Alwoodley market report LS17 8, Leeds
The LS17 8 (Alwoodley) 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: 7,220 sales registered with HM Land Registry in LS17 8 (Leeds) 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.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 69 registered 2026 sales put the LS17 8 (Leeds) median at £350,000, up 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £386,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,730 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 7,220 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
LS17 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LS17 (Leeds). 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 LS17 8 home went from £78,000 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 106%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LS17 8 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 (+21.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.9% | −0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 69 sales completed in LS17 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 296 sales a year before the financial crisis and 147 a year over the last five. 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.
What tenants pay around LS17 8
The local authority for LS17 8 is Leeds, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,134 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £774 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,677, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £350,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in LS: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LS 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.
