Close to three households in ten in Leicester rent privately, up by nearly seven points in a decade, and more than a third of its households live in a semi. The Victorian terraces of Highfields, Belgrave and Clarendon Park carry most of the rented stock, and most of them have had a damp-proof course injected at some point.
Leicester’s property market includes elegant Victorian homes in Stoneygate and Clarendon Park, modern developments in the Waterside area, and substantial family houses in Oadby and surrounding villages. The mix of architectural styles creates varied demand for flooring, from traditional oak finishes to contemporary tile designs.
Engineered wood in a variety of oak finishes leads the market across Leicester. Porcelain tiles are a growing choice for larger homes in Oadby and Stoneygate, particularly in kitchen-diners. LVT remains the go-to option for rental properties and student accommodation near the universities.
We deliver to LE1, LE2, LE3, LE4, LE5, LE7, LE21 and LE87.
Leicester has 25 conservation areas, including New Walk, Stoneygate, Greyfriars and Castle, and in each of them an original floor is part of what the designation protects — lifting historic boards is not automatically yours to decide. Across the rest of the city the practical question is simply which of two ground floors you have: suspended timber in the older terraces, which needs levelling, or a solid slab in the later estates, which needs the damp-proof membrane checked. Ashton Green and the Waterside regeneration area are new-build, so screed and often underfloor heating, and there engineered wood is the safer choice over solid.
At the 2021 census, 23.0% of households in Leicester lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 76.9% in a house or bungalow — 29.2% of all households in a terraced house.
