Questions people ask

Is Blaby safe?

Police recorded about 58.8 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, lower than East Midlands as a whole (77.8). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.

How much do homes cost in Blaby?

Homes sold for a typical £3,200 per m² in the year to August 2026, higher than East Midlands as a whole (£2,830 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £225,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.

How many schools are there in Blaby?

There are 27 state primary and 3 state secondary schools inside Blaby's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
