How to read these figures
The UK House Price Index uses a geometric mean for this local authority. It differs from the sector sale median above in geography, period and calculation. Missing source months remain gaps. No later months are estimated.
Service distances are straight lines from an approximate sector centre. They do not measure a route or journey time.

These links open live searches on external property sites. They search the wider LE1 postcode district, which contains other sectors. Listing availability and prices change on those sites.
These are evidence matches from across the nationwide postcode sector dataset. Some may be far from LE1 2. Compare the recorded measures and distance before deciding which guides to open.
Recorded sales cover 2025; these medians are not current asking prices. Distances are straight lines between approximate sector centres, not travel routes. Missing values remain unknown.
How these comparisons were made
Sale medians come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for England and Wales. Suggestion reasons use the available sale medians, Ofcom January 2026 residential broadband availability, calculated as an unweighted mean of postcode percentages and undated OpenStreetMap station, supermarket and park locations. Distances to mapped places are also straight lines from approximate sector centres. A suggestion shares several measures with this sector; it is not a suitability score.

Sector sale medians come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for England and Wales. The guide shows standard residential transactions for 2025, grouped by property type, with at least five sales per published median. School locations were processed from Get Information about Schools with OpenStreetMap fallback where needed. Check current English school inspection reports with Ofsted. Recorded crime counts use Police.uk open data; the processed sector file does not retain an observation period.
