In cash terms the typical LS23 6 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £434,300 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 150%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the LS23 6 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 (+22.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−17.7%). 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) | +12.5% | +9.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.7% | −0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in LS23 6
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 48 LS23 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 176 sales a year before the financial crisis and 107 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.
What homes rent for around LS23 6
LS23 6 falls under Leeds, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £434,300 median purchase price, a rent of £1,134 a month (£13,608 a year) works out at a 3.1% 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.
How LS23 6 trades
Only 48 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LS23 6 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in LS
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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
