In cash terms the typical LA13 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £205,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 119%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2008 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LA13 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 2021 (+27.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−16.7%). 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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £308,500 against £102,500 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.9% | −10.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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 LA13
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 261 LA13 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 429 sales a year before the financial crisis and 259 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.
What homes rent for around LA13
LA13 falls under Westmorland and Furness, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £805 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£805 a month is £9,660 a year, which against the £205,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
Reading the LA13 market
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.

What another bedroom costs in LA
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LA area. 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.

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