LA1 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LA1 (Lancaster). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

| 1996 | £44,600 | £94,059 | 82 |
| 1995 | £42,600 | £92,606 | 77 |
In cash terms the typical LA1 1 home went from £42,600 in 1995 to £140,000 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 51%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 41% 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 LA1 1 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 2002 (+45.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−19.7%). 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) | −9.7% | −11.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | 0.0% | −3.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.8% | −2.0% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 register shows 24 LA1 1 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 174 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 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.
The rental side of LA1 1
For renting purposes LA1 1 sits in Lancaster. The ONS average private rent there is £807 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £590 a month here against £1,203 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Lancaster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £140,000 median sold price, £807 a month is £9,684 a year, a gross yield of 6.9%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
What kind of market LA1 1 is
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LA1 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 LA1 district median, LA1 1 sits 23% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
LA1 1 (Aldcliffe): the questions that come up
Is LA1 1 (Aldcliffe) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in LA1 1 (Aldcliffe)?
Are property prices falling in LA1 1 (Aldcliffe)?
Where do LA1 1 prices go next?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 4% over five years in cash but down 18% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

What another bedroom costs in LA
Real sold prices by size across the LA area, straight 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £270,000 | £382,995 (+42%) | £550,000 (+44%) | £715,000 (+30%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
