Market Overview: LE5
Activity in LE5 over the last twelve months ran to 29 residential sales, giving a workable sample size for median-level analysis. Individual sales ranged from £97k to £450k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
Semi-detached houses were the most common transaction type, representing 55% of sales, while terraced houses accounted for 38%. Semi-detached stock signals interwar or post-war suburban development, typically with gardens front and back.
The LE5 0AF dataset is a reasonable baseline, but decisions at the individual-property level should still lean on matched comparables rather than the area median alone. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 4.0%, based on ONS regional rents.
