In cash terms the typical LA2 9 home went from £58,500 in 1995 to £268,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 111%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 25% 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 LA2 9 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 (+68.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.5%). 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) | −16.9% | −18.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
How many homes change hands in LA2 9
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.
The register shows 23 LA2 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 72 sales a year before the financial crisis and 55 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.
Reading the LA2 9 market
Only 23 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LA2 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What tenants pay around LA2 9
LA2 9 falls under Lancaster, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £807 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £590 a month here against £1,203 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Lancaster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £268,000 median sold price, £807 a month is £9,684 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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. 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%) |

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
