| 1996 | £39,500 | £83,304 | 192 |
| 1995 | £38,800 | £84,345 | 158 |
In cash terms the typical LA1 2 home went from £38,800 in 1995 to £157,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 87%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LA1 2 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 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.0%). 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) | −3.4% | −5.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 49 LA1 2 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 284 sales a year before the financial crisis and 115 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.
What kind of market LA1 2 is
This is a thin market: 49 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. Within LA1, this sector trades 14% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around LA1 2
LA1 2 falls under Lancaster, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £807 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £590 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,203, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Lancaster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £157,500 median purchase price, a rent of £807 a month (£9,684 a year) works out at a 6.1% 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 price of an extra bedroom in LA
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LA area. 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 | — | £270,000 | £382,995 (+42%) | £550,000 (+44%) | £715,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £175,000 | £200,000 (+14%) | £250,000 (+25%) | £340,000 (+36%) | £492,500 (+45%) |

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.
