Knighton property market: common questions
Where is Knighton?
Knighton is about 2 miles south-east of central Leicester, in Leicestershire. Figures for Knighton 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 Knighton?
The median asking price across the 122 homes for sale in Knighton is £350,000 (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 £252,488 and £500,000. That is 40% above Leicester. Homes that actually sold in Knighton went for a median £307,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Knighton rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Knighton is up 46% over the last 10 years and broadly flat 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 Knighton cheaper than Leicester?
No: asking prices in Knighton are typically higher than across Leicester. The median asking price in Knighton is £350,000 against £250k across Leicester: 40% above Leicester. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How much do flats and houses cost in Knighton?
The median asking price for a flat in Knighton is £143,500. 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 semi-detached houses, at a median £337,500 across 38 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a three-bedroom house in Knighton?
There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Knighton is semi-detached houses, at a median asking price of £320,000 across 20 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (122 in Knighton), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Knighton 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 Knighton since May 2026.
- 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.
