In cash terms the typical LS5 3 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 116%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 5% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LS5 3 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 (+27.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−20.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LS5 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.1% | −0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in LS5 3
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.
LS5 3 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 200 sales a year before the financial crisis and 95 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 homes rent for around LS5 3
For renting purposes LS5 3 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.
Set against the £240,000 median sold price, £1,134 a month is £13,608 a year, a gross yield of 5.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How LS5 3 trades
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LS5 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

The price of an extra bedroom in LS
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LS area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £298,000 | £425,000 (+43%) | £675,000 (+59%) | £900,000 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £205,000 | £230,000 (+12%) | £295,000 (+28%) | £431,000 (+46%) | £602,500 (+40%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
