In cash terms the typical CA2 5 home went from £34,900 in 1995 to £123,800 in 2026, roughly 3.5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 63%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 32% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CA2 5 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−11.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.0% | +1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.4% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
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.
Sales activity in CA2 5
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 50 sales completed in CA2 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 270 sales a year before the financial crisis and 129 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around CA2 5
For renting purposes CA2 5 sits in Cumberland. The ONS average private rent there is £666 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £496 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,071 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £123,800 median purchase price, a rent of £666 a month (£7,992 a year) works out at a 6.5% 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.
How CA2 5 trades
This is a thin market: 50 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the CA2 district median, CA2 5 sits 17% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What another bedroom costs 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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
