Highfields property market: common questions
Where is Highfields?
Highfields is in central Leicester, in Leicestershire. Figures for Highfields cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Highfields?
The median asking price across the 191 homes for sale in Highfields is £170,000 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £100,000 and £245,000. That is 32% below Leicester. Homes that actually sold in Highfields went for a median £223,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Highfields rising or falling?
Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Highfields is up 75% over the last 10 years and up 15% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Highfields cheaper than Leicester?
Yes: asking prices in Highfields are typically lower than across Leicester. The median asking price in Highfields is £170,000 against £250k across Leicester: 32% below Leicester. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.
How many homes are for sale in Highfields?
191 homes are on the market in Highfields right now, down 9% since 31 Aug, 25 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.
Are house prices being cut in Highfields?
21 listings in Highfields had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 11% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Highfields?
Of the Highfields listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 62 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.
How much do flats and houses cost in Highfields?
The median asking price for a flat in Highfields is £115,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £250,000 across 53 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Highfields?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Highfields is £130,000, across 74 current listings.

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Highfields is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £255,000 across 22 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.
What is the price per square foot in Highfields?
In Highfields, homes that sold went for a median £230 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £216 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (191 in Highfields), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Highfields cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Highfields since December 2025.
- Leicester comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Leicester, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
