In cash terms the typical LA9 6 home went from £54,600 in 1995 to £286,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 141%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2008. The market now sits about 6% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LA9 6 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 (+29.0% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−8.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LA9 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +10.0% | +7.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.9% | +0.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 39 LA9 6 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 148 sales a year before the financial crisis and 102 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.
The rental side of LA9 6
For renting purposes LA9 6 sits in Westmorland and Furness. The ONS average private rent there is £805 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £286,000 median purchase price, a rent of £805 a month (£9,660 a year) works out at a 3.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How LA9 6 trades
Only 39 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LA9 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within LA9, this sector trades 10% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

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. 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%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
