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 Forest Road, 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. Forest Road, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 27 | 46.6% | £136,000 | £47,000 – £260,000 |
| Terraced | 17 | 29.3% | £129,000 | £35,000 – £155,000 |
| Detached | 14 | 24.1% | £179,000 | £47,000 – £425,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Forest Road, Markfield
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 58 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 | 58 | 100.0% | £142,000 |
| New build | 4 | 6.9% | £49,950 |
| Existing home | 54 | 93.1% | £143,975 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -65.3%. 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.
A further 5 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.

Living in Forest Road, 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 £142,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.09% 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 Forest Road, 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 Forest Road, Markfield compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Forest Road, Markfield sits below that national figure — -9.8%.
Within Markfield the street ranks 60 of 100 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £142,500 (-0.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,642 per square metre, across 17 of the 58 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 £35,000 to £425,000. 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.
Forest Road, 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.

When were Forest Road, Markfield house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £49,950, set in 1996. 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 Forest Road, Markfield?
