Price per square metre in LS8 1

| 1996 | £63,000 | £132,864 | 165 |
| 1995 | £61,100 | £132,822 | 146 |
In cash terms the typical LS8 1 home went from £61,100 in 1995 to £380,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 186%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LS8 1 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 (+31.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.6%). 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) | +7.0% | +4.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 62 sales completed in LS8 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 225 sales a year before the financial crisis and 125 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.
Reading the LS8 1 market
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within LS8, this sector trades 36% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around LS8 1
The local authority for LS8 1 is Leeds, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Set against the £380,000 median sold price, £1,134 a month is £13,608 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.

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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
