In cash terms the typical CA6 4 home went from £67,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 72%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2009, and today's median remains roughly 34% under it: a 2009 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CA6 4 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 (+53.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−21.3%). 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) | −10.7% | −12.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.9% | −1.9% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 22 CA6 4 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 75 sales a year before the financial crisis and 45 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 CA6 4
For renting purposes CA6 4 sits in Cumberland. The ONS average private rent there is £666 a month (May 2026). 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 £250,000 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 kind of market CA6 4 is
This is a thin market: 22 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. Within CA6, this sector trades 14% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Moving up a bedroom in CA: the cost
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.
