How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Plosh | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CA12 5 | – | £407,500 | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | £384,000 |
| Allerdale | – | £279,000 | £233,000 | £230,000 | £210,000 |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in CA12 5, over the last five years (339 sales):
- What sells: 23% detached, 23% flats, 22% terraced, 17% other, 15% semi-detached.
- 29% sold leasehold.
- 50 sales in the last twelve months, against 116 in the same twelve months five years ago.
