House Prices in Blaby
Latest data point:
As of November 2025, the average house price in Blaby costs £290,912. Over the last 12 months, prices have risen 2.8% in pounds - the number most headlines stop at. But that headline doesn’t tell you whether houses actually became more expensive in everyday terms, or whether the pound simply bought less along the way.
To see the difference, Bread Index looks at the same houses through a simple real-world lens. When prices are measured against everyday costs, the story in Blaby changes: over the same period, values in bread terms rose 2.0%.
This page shows how house prices in Blaby have changed over time in both pounds and bread. That gap between the £ view and the bread view is inflation at work - and it explains why housing can feel less affordable even when charts say prices are “up”.

- Prices are up in pounds, but flat or down in bread terms. That means most of the rise comes from the pound buying less, not from homes becoming more expensive in everyday terms.
- The headline £ change is about 85.1 points higher than the bread change. That difference is inflation's share of the move.
- In plain terms: the £ number answers “what does it cost today?”, while the bread number answers “how big is that cost compared with everyday prices in that year?”.

It's a reality check, not a forecast.
Methodology & Data Sources
- House prices: UK House Price Index (ONS / Land Registry)
- Bread prices: UK consumer price data (average loaf proxy)
- Calculation: house price divided by bread price
- Updates: monthly, as new data is released
Bread is a proxy. It's not perfect, but it tracks everyday costs closely enough to be useful.
