What a square metre costs in LA9

In cash terms the typical LA9 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £260,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 139%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LA9 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 (+27.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−4.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £425,000 against £140,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.0% | −1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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 LA9
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 452 sales completed in LA9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 789 sales a year before the financial crisis and 486 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 LA9
For renting purposes LA9 sits in Westmorland and Furness. The ONS average private rent there is £805 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £595 a month here against £1,305 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Westmorland and Furness
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £260,000 median sold price, £805 a month is £9,660 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: 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.

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 13% over five years in cash but down 11% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
What you could buy in LA9 now
Everything above is what homes in LA9 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 204 homes currently on the market from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 10% above the LA9 median sold price.
28% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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.
Bedroom by bedroom: LA prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LA area. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
