How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Richard Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector LE13 1 | £171,000 | £161,000 +6% since | £128,750 +33% since | £111,000 +54% since | £102,750 +66% since |

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in LE13 1, over the last five years (1,448 sales):
- What sells: 36% semi-detached, 32% detached, 19% terraced, 7% flats, 5% other.
- 8% sold leasehold, and 28% were new builds.
- 203 sales in the last twelve months, against 310 in the same twelve months five years ago.
