Are new homes being built in Shepshed?

37 of the 304 postcodes now in use in Shepshed came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 7 of the 239 homes sold in Shepshed were newly built (3%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the LE12 district, 18%.

The newest postcodes

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

New homes among the homes sold

PeriodIn ShepshedAcross the LE12 district

Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.
