How John Street, Leicester prices moved
The chart tracks the median John Street, Leicester house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2021. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £40,000 | £88,819 |
| 2000s | 4 | £67,950 | £123,785 |
| 2010s | 5 | £125,000 | £176,250 |
| 2020s | 2 | £150,000 | £153,261 |
The highest yearly median on record for John Street, Leicester is £160,500 in 2021; the lowest is £34,000 in 1995. Across the full 27-year record the cash median has moved from £34,000 to £160,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £75,496, so the real change over the whole record is +168.6% — about +3.87% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +47.6% in cash against +0.5% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here

Section 06
Ownership and new build in John Street, Leicester
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 144 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 144 | 100.0% | £112,250 |
A further 9 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
Section 09
How John Street, Leicester compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. John Street, Leicester sits below that national figure — -28.7%.
Within Leicester the street ranks 3876 of 5322 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £135,000 (-16.9%).

The full range on record runs from £12,500 to £380,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in John Street, Leicester?
The median price paid in John Street, Leicester across every sale on the register is £112,250. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in John Street, Leicester?
144 sales are on record for John Street, Leicester, the most recent completing on 6 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have John Street, Leicester house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +47.6% between 2004 and 2021. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +0.5%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were John Street, Leicester house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £160,500, set in 2021. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in John Street, Leicester?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 6 Mar 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
