LA5 0 sold prices: where the market stands
The 2026 median for LA5 0 is £335,000, taken from 23 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £391,400, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
Price per square metre in LA5 0
Measured by floor area, the last five years of LA5 0 sales average about £3,670 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

In cash terms the typical LA5 0 home went from £77,000 in 1995 to £335,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 100%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LA5 0 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 (+28.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−11.9%). 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) | −11.4% | −13.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in LA5 0
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.
LA5 0 recorded 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 107 sales a year before the financial crisis and 61 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.
What kind of market LA5 0 is
This is a thin market: 23 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. Within LA5, this sector trades 22% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around LA5 0
The local authority for LA5 0 is Westmorland and Furness, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£805 a month is £9,660 a year, which against the £335,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.9%. 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.
Common questions on LA5 0 (Arnside)

How much did a house sell for in LA5 0 (Arnside)?
Are property prices falling in LA5 0 (Arnside)?
Will LA5 0 prices rise from here?

What you could buy in LA5 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 17 homes currently on the market from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole LA5 district, not just LA5 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
7% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom in LA
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%) |
| 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.
The risers and the fallers
