CA10 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical CA10 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £287,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 120%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2008. The market now sits about 25% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CA10 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 2002 (+38.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CA10 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.7% | −1.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 46% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £385,000 against £130,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Sales activity in CA10
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 163 CA10 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 263 sales a year before the financial crisis and 202 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the CA10 market
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Among the 28 measurable districts of its area, CA10 ranks 6 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
The rental side of CA10
The local authority for CA10 is Westmorland and Furness, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £805 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £595 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,305 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Westmorland and Furness
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £287,000 median purchase price, a rent of £805 a month (£9,660 a year) works out at a 3.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Is CA10 (Shap) a good place to buy a house?

The price of an extra bedroom in CA
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CA area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £220,000 | £300,000 (+36%) | £430,000 (+43%) | £523,000 (+22%) |
| Semi-detached | £142,000 | £155,000 (+9%) | £205,000 (+32%) | £265,000 (+29%) | £357,500 (+35%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
