In cash terms the typical CA22 home went from £39,400 in 1995 to £128,800 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 50%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 34% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CA22 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 (+57.6% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−13.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.0% | −8.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.7% | −2.0% |
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, 42% of the typed total. In 2021, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £222,200 against £73,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

How many homes change hands in CA22
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 103 sales completed in CA22. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 175 sales a year before the financial crisis and 99 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 CA22 market
This is a thin market: 103 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. In its area's price order CA22 comes 24 of 28, towards the cheaper end of the table.
Rents around CA22
The local authority for CA22 is Cumberland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £666 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £496 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,071, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £128,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.2%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in CA
Real sold prices by size across the CA area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
