In cash terms the typical CA6 5 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £192,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 145%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2010, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2010 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CA6 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 (+84.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−33.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CA6 5 has returned, per year

| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.0% | +1.1% |

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.
How many homes change hands in CA6 5
The year-by-year sales count
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.
CA6 5 recorded 15 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 44 sales a year recently, against 52 a year before 2008. 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.
What tenants pay around CA6 5
For renting purposes CA6 5 sits in Cumberland. The ONS average private rent there is £666 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £192,000 median purchase price, a rent of £666 a month (£7,992 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.
The shape of the CA6 5 market
Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CA6 5 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. Against the CA6 district median, CA6 5 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in CA
Real sold prices by size across the CA area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
