In cash terms the typical LS4 2 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £222,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 138%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LS4 2 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 (+36.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LS4 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.1% | −1.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.8% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
LS4 2 recorded 43 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 259 sales a year before the financial crisis and 105 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 LS4 2 trades
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LS4 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
The rental side of LS4 2
For renting purposes LS4 2 sits in Leeds. The ONS average private rent there is £1,134 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £774 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,677 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £222,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.1%. 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.
Common questions on LS4 2 (Burley)
How much did a house sell for in LS4 2 (Burley)?
Are property prices falling in LS4 2 (Burley)?
Is LS4 2 (Burley) a good place to buy a house?
Will LS4 2 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 20% over five years in cash but down 5% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What is for sale in LS4 right now

Of everything listed here, 18% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

Moving up a bedroom in LS: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the LS area, straight 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.
