Market Overview: LU5
Activity in LU5 over the last twelve months ran to 36 residential sales, giving a workable sample size for median-level analysis. Individual sales ranged from £57k to £573k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
No single property type dominates — semi-detached houses led with 39% but the mix is diverse, while terraced houses accounted for 28% and flats accounted for 22%.
The LU5 4AA 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 4.3%, based on ONS regional rents.
