In cash terms the typical LA14 5 home went from £26,000 in 1995 to £146,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 159%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 4% 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 LA14 5 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 (+28.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.7%). 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) | +12.7% | +10.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in LA14 5
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, 88 sales completed in LA14 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 341 sales a year before the financial crisis and 174 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 tenants pay around LA14 5
The local authority for LA14 5 is Westmorland and Furness, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £805 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £595 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,305 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £146,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.6%. 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.
What kind of market LA14 5 is
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
