In cash terms the typical LA21 home went from £146,800 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 2.3 times the price. Strip out inflation, though, and the change is small: about 7% in real terms. Most of the cash growth is money losing value rather than homes gaining it. The real-terms peak came in 2011, and today's median remains roughly 42% under it: a 2011 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LA21 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 1998 (+77.7% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−54.0%). 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) | −21.4% | −23.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.6% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.7% |
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 detached houses dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 24 LA21 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 22 sales a year before the financial crisis and 11 a year over the last five. 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.
How LA21 trades
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LA21 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. LA21 sits 4 of 23 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
The rental side of LA21
The local authority for LA21 is Westmorland and Furness, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£805 a month is £9,660 a year, which against the £340,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.8%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in LA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LA area, 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £136,000 | £140,000 (+3%) | £177,000 (+26%) | £240,000 (+36%) | £345,000 (+44%) |
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
