No single property type dominates — terraced houses led with 39% but the mix is diverse, while semi-detached houses accounted for 34%.

Liquidity in LE5 0AF is healthy: the high sale count makes it easier to benchmark a specific property against genuinely recent comparables rather than extrapolating from older deals.
