The going rate for a home in LA5 9
Take the 39 registered 2026 sales in LA5 9 and the middle price, the median, is £180,000. The mean lands at £222,900, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
House prices per square metre in LA5 9
Measured by floor area, the last five years of LA5 9 sales average about £2,480 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.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so LA5 9 trades 37% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical LA5 9 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £180,000 in 2026, roughly 3.4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 58%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 34% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LA5 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 2004 (+43.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−20.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LA5 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −20.4% | −22.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.7% | −6.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in LA5 9
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 39 sales completed in LA5 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 217 sales a year before the financial crisis and 124 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.
What tenants pay around LA5 9
The local authority for LA5 9 is Lancaster, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £807 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £590 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,203, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Lancaster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £180,000 median sold price, £807 a month is £9,684 a year, a gross yield of 5.4%: 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.
The shape of the LA5 9 market
This is a thin market: 39 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 LA5, this sector trades 35% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 8% over five years in cash but down 28% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in LA: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the LA area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

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.
