Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on LA22: a quiet market, so take your time
At around 8 sales a month, LA22 is quiet, and prices are up on last year, but on few sales, so treat the rise as a hint rather than a trend.
If you are selling, most LA22 sales sit between £160,000 and £959,250, which makes £441,000 a blunt instrument, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseIf you are buying, typical prices in LA22 sit well above the UK average, and still climbing, so test the asking price against recent sold homes of the same type before you stretch to meet it.
Before an offer goes in on any LA22 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (46 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,508 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
With averages this broad, the free LA22 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Westmorland and Furness (LA22) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £675,000 against £324,375 for flats: about 2.1 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £160,000 and £959,250, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is a quiet district: only about 8 recorded sales a month.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

Across the 12 sampled LA22 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 8, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
LA22 9DJ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so LA22 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in LA22: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in LA22, band by band
Westmorland and Furness's council tax for 2026-27 set against the LA22 median sold price of £441,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearWestmorland and Furness | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £441,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,672 | £139 | 0.38% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,951 | £163 | 0.44% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,229 | £186 | 0.51% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,016 | £418 | 1.14% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the LA22 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
