How Saffron Road, Wigston prices moved
The chart tracks the median Saffron Road, Wigston house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 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 | 2 | £51,750 | £114,909 |
| 2000s | 5 | £116,250 | £211,773 |
| 2010s | 3 | £196,000 | £276,360 |
| 2020s | 1 | £260,000 | £265,652 |
The highest yearly median on record for Saffron Road, Wigston is £260,000 in 2021; the lowest is £51,750 in 1997. Across the full 25-year record the cash median has moved from £51,750 to £260,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £109,726, so the real change over the whole record is +199.4% — about +4.67% 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: +23.8% in cash against -12.1% 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.

What sells here

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Saffron Road, Wigston
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 142 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 | 142 | 100.0% | £158,500 |
A further 10 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

Within Wigston the street ranks 146 of 413 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £130,000 (+21.9%).

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Saffron Road, Wigston?

When were Saffron Road, Wigston house prices at their highest?

The latest sale shown here completed on 1 Aug 2025. 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.
