House prices per square metre in LS17

In cash terms the typical LS17 home went from £68,500 in 1995 to £372,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 150%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 13% 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 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 (+23.2% 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) | −3.6% | −5.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
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, 47% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £515,000 against £170,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
LS17 recorded 436 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 953 sales a year before the financial crisis and 486 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.
Rents around LS17
The local authority for LS17 is Leeds, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,134 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £372,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,134 a month (£13,608 a year) works out at a 3.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Real sold prices by size across the LS 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.
