LA18 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LA18 (Millom). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

| 1996 | £30,500 | £64,323 | 78 |
| 1995 | £33,000 | £71,737 | 65 |
In cash terms the typical LA18 4 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £92,500 in 2026, roughly 2.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 29%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 39% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LA18 4 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 2004 (+41.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−22.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LA18 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −22.9% | −24.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.2% | −2.5% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
LA18 4 recorded 26 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 125 sales a year before the financial crisis and 64 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.
What tenants pay around LA18 4
The local authority for LA18 4 is Cumberland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £666 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £496 a month here against £1,071 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£666 a month is £7,992 a year, which against the £92,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 8.6%. 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.
How LA18 4 trades
This is a thin market: 26 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. Within LA18, this sector trades 12% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £270,000 | £382,995 (+42%) | £550,000 (+44%) | £715,000 (+30%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
