| 1996 | £53,500 | £112,829 | 14 |
| 1995 | £63,200 | £137,387 | 10 |
In cash terms the typical LA17 home went from £63,200 in 1995 to £165,000 in 2026, roughly 2.6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 20%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 53% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LA17 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 (+76.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−34.0%). 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) | −34.0% | −35.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −8.7% | −12.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.9% | −5.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.3% | −2.4% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 47% of the typed total.

Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 24 sales completed in LA17. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 14 sales a year recently, against 17 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market LA17 is
This is a thin market: 24 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. Among the 23 measurable districts of its area, LA17 ranks 21 by median price: towards the affordable end.
What homes rent for around LA17
LA17 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.
Against the £165,000 median purchase price, a rent of £805 a month (£9,660 a year) works out at a 5.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Bedroom by bedroom: LA prices by size
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%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
