In cash terms the typical LA12 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LA12 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 (+34.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £390,000 against £162,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.4% | −9.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −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.
How many homes change hands in LA12
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 290 LA12 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 466 sales a year before the financial crisis and 308 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of LA12
For renting purposes LA12 sits in Westmorland and Furness. The ONS average private rent there is £805 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £595 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,305, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Westmorland and Furness
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £250,000 median sold price, £805 a month is £9,660 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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 another bedroom costs in LA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LA 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.
