Leicester property market

Leicester is in Leicestershire, covering about 30 square miles.

The median asking price across the 1,447 homes for sale in Leicester is £250,000 (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 £175,000 and £335,000. That is 29% below the UK. Homes that actually sold in Leicester went for a median £250,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Leicester is up 79% 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.

Yes: asking prices in Leicester are typically lower than across the UK. The median asking price in Leicester is £250,000 against £350k across the UK: 29% below the UK. 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.
