Market read
The median sale in Leicester, Southfields (LE1) was £120,000. Floor areas could be established for only 34% of sales here, too few to publish a reliable price per square metre, so that figure is left out. Prices sit 39.4% under the local peak set in 2018. Local rents imply a gross yield near 10.2%. Floor area varies far more than room counts suggest: properties recorded with 1 habitable rooms — bedrooms and receptions together — range from 30 to 67 m² here.

The space signal
Property listings describe homes by bedroom count, but that is not recorded in any public dataset. What is recorded is the number of habitable rooms — bedrooms and reception rooms together — and the total floor area. In Leicester, Southfields, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 31 m² | 35 m² | 67 m² | 26 |
| 2 | 34 m² | 45 m² | 70 m² | 302 |
| 3 | 52 m² | 66 m² | 94 m² | 420 |
| 4 | 72 m² | 111 m² | 145 m² | 82 |
| 5 | 90 m² | 97 m² | 134 m² | 22 |
| 6 | 114 m² | 144 m² | 203 m² | 24 |
| 7 | 128 m² | 193 m² | 195 m² | 14 |
| 9 | 206 m² | 208 m² | 219 m² | 7 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 1 habitable rooms, ranging from 31 to 67 m². Two properties advertised the same way can differ by more than half their floor area, which is why price per square metre is a more useful comparison than price alone.
