Year-on-year change in the LA16 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.
Annualised returns
| 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% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 44% of the typed total.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
LA16 recorded 62 sales in the last twelve months of data. 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. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of LA16
The local authority for LA16 is Westmorland and Furness, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £805 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £595 a month here against £1,305 for four or more bedrooms.
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.
What kind of market LA16 is
This is a thin market: 62 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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.

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 50% over five years in cash and up 18% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
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. 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%) |

| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
