Loughborough property market: common questions

Where is Loughborough?

Loughborough is in Leicestershire.

What is the average house price in Loughborough?

The median asking price across the 261 homes for sale in Loughborough is £260,000 (as of 5 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 £200,000 and £350,000. That is 10% below Leicestershire. Homes that actually sold in Loughborough went for a median £240,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Are house prices in Loughborough 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 Loughborough is up 58% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is Loughborough cheaper than Leicestershire?

Yes: asking prices in Loughborough are typically lower than across Leicestershire. The median asking price in Loughborough is £260,000 against £290k across Leicestershire: 10% below Leicestershire.

How much do flats and houses cost in Loughborough?

The median asking price for a flat in Loughborough is £155,000. 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 detached houses, at a median £380,000 across 69 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (261 in Loughborough), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
  • 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 Loughborough since May 2026.
  • Leicestershire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Leicestershire, 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 February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 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.
