In cash terms the typical LA16 7 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £275,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 217%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the LA16 7 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 2006 (+47.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−32.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +19.8% | +17.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +8.4% | +3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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, 17 sales completed in LA16 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 92 sales a year before the financial crisis and 53 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 kind of market LA16 7 is
Only 17 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LA16 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What homes rent for around LA16 7
LA16 7 falls under Westmorland and Furness, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Set against the £275,500 median sold price, £805 a month is £9,660 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in LA: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the LA area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
