| 1995 | £66,500 | £144,561 | 162 |
In cash terms the typical LS18 5 home went from £66,500 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 101%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LS18 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 2004 (+30.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−20.1%). 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) | −4.9% | −7.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.1% | −5.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
LS18 5 recorded 58 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 230 sales a year before the financial crisis and 142 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.
How LS18 5 trades
Only 58 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LS18 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around LS18 5
For renting purposes LS18 5 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.
Against the £290,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,134 a month (£13,608 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in LS: the cost
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.
