In cash terms the typical LA1 4 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £217,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 104%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LA1 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 2004 (+31.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−8.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LA1 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.0% | −6.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 68 sales completed in LA1 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 296 sales a year before the financial crisis and 155 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.
What tenants pay around LA1 4
For renting purposes LA1 4 sits in Lancaster. The ONS average private rent there is £807 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £217,500 median sold price, £807 a month is £9,684 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.

LA1's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 89 homes on the market right now, from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole LA1 district, not just LA1 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
35% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Bowerham Road, Lancaster, Lancashire,...
- Scotforth Road, Lancaster, Lancashire...
- Grant Close, Lancaster, Lancashire, LA1
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom in LA
Real sold prices by size across the LA 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 | — | £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%) |
| Terraced | £136,000 | £140,000 (+3%) | £177,000 (+26%) | £240,000 (+36%) | £345,000 (+44%) |
| Flat | £115,000 | £167,750 (+46%) | £265,000 (+58%) | — | — |
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.
