Hawksworth market report LS5, Leeds
The standing LS5 (Hawksworth) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,394 sales registered with HM Land Registry in LS5 (Leeds) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 43 registered 2026 sales put the LS5 (Leeds) median at £240,000, up 23% on five years earlier, with a mean of £245,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,910 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,394 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
LS5 is a postcode district covering Hawksworth, Kirkstall in Leeds. It is the most useful size for market figures: tight enough to describe somewhere real, large enough that sales keep coming and the medians hold steady.

What LS5 homes really sell for
The LS5 median stands at £240,000 for 2026, built from 43 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £245,800, practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.
LS5 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of LS5 sales average about £2,910 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts LS5 16% below the country at large.

| 1996 | £40,500 | £85,413 | 119 |
| 1995 | £51,000 | £110,866 | 133 |
In cash terms the typical LS5 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 116%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 5% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LS5 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 (+28.3% 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.
The long view: annualised growth
| 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £237,500 against £161,500 for a flat, a 47% premium.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
LS5 recorded 88 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 97 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 kind of market LS5 is
This is a thin market: 88 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.
The rental side of LS5
For renting purposes LS5 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.
Against the £240,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,134 a month (£13,608 a year) works out at a 5.7% 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.

What you could buy in LS5 now
Everything above is what homes in LS5 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 19 homes currently on the market from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price level with the LS5 median sold price.
Of everything listed here, 28% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £298,000 | £425,000 (+43%) | £675,000 (+59%) | £900,000 (+33%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
