In cash terms the typical CA27 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £252,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 94%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 25% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CA27 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 (+47.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−23.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +32.9% | +29.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.3% | +0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. In 2009, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £219,000 against £137,000 for a flat, a 60% premium.

The turnover behind the prices
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.
Month by month, five years back
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, 26 sales completed in CA27. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 48 sales a year before the financial crisis and 24 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.
The shape of the CA27 market
This is a thin market: 26 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. 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.
The rental side of CA27
CA27 falls under Cumberland, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £252,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.2%. 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%) |
| Terraced | £105,000 | £115,000 (+10%) | £132,500 (+15%) | £184,000 (+39%) | £255,000 (+39%) |
| Flat | £92,000 | £124,950 (+36%) | £165,500 (+32%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
