Section 02
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.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Birch Close, Markfield values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Birch Close, Markfield is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 23 | 79.3% | £75,000 | £40,000 – £150,000 |
| Terraced | 4 | 13.8% | £115,000 | £96,200 – £189,950 |
| Semi-detached | 2 | 6.9% | £51,000 | £51,000 – £100,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Birch Close, Markfield
29 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% 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 | 29 | 100.0% | £85,000 |
| Freehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| New build | 1 | 3.4% | £70,000 |
| Existing home | 28 | 96.6% | £85,250 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -17.9%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
Section 07
Living in Birch Close, Markfield
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Charnwood, 48.3% of 83,449 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.9% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 453 | 0.5% |
| B | 12,805 | 15.3% |
| C | 27,010 | 32.4% |
| D | 28,420 | 34.1% |
| E | 11,542 | 13.8% |
| F | 2,632 | 3.2% |
| G | 587 | 0.7% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Charnwood at £957 a month as of Jun 2026 — £676 for a one-bedroom home and £1,025 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £85,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 13.51% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of LE67, 145 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 54 violent, 9 burglary, 5 vehicle-related and 25 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 183,971 residents the 2021 census counted in Charnwood, that is 0.79 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Birch Close, Markfield
The 2021 census counted 183,971 residents in Charnwood across 73,785 households. 70.8% of those households own their home and 29.1% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
28 state and independent schools have a LE67 postcode: 24 primary, 4 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Birch Close, Markfield compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Birch Close, Markfield sits below that national figure — -46.0%.
Within Markfield the street ranks 95 of 100 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £142,500 (-40.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,347 per square metre, across 11 of the 29 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £40,000 to £189,950. 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.
Birch Close, Markfield sits in Charnwood, in the East Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Charnwood at 7.5 times median local earnings of £36,696 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
