Today's CA prices, from the sold record
The CA median stands at £187,000 for 2026, built from 2,054 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £218,100, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
CA prices by floor area
Per square metre, CA homes have averaged around £2,100 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving CA 34% below the national figure.

| 1996 | £46,000 | £97,012 | 5,208 |
| 1995 | £46,000 | £99,997 | 4,236 |
In cash terms the typical CA home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £187,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 87%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CA median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+25.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−4.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CA has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.6% | −3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £326,800 against £115,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Sales activity in CA
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 4,278 CA sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 6,793 sales a year before the financial crisis and 4,722 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around CA
The local authority for CA is Cumberland, the local authority covering most of the CA area, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £666 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £496 a month here against £1,071 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£666 a month is £7,992 a year, which against the £187,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

The price of an extra bedroom in CA
Real sold prices by size across the CA area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
