In cash terms the typical CA18 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 159%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 71% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CA18 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 2003 (+132.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−53.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CA18 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.3% | −0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.6% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | −1.4% | −4.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in CA18
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
CA18 recorded 13 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 4 sales a year before the financial crisis and 2 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 CA18 market
Only 13 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CA18 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
Rents around CA18
CA18 falls under Cumberland, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £220,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CA area, 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.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
