How Laurel Gardens, Kendal prices moved
The chart tracks the median Laurel Gardens, Kendal house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2002 to 2006. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 3 | £205,000 | £373,450 |
The highest yearly median on record for Laurel Gardens, Kendal is £262,500 in 2006; the lowest is £156,450 in 2002. Across the full 5-year record the cash median has moved from £156,450 to £262,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £301,771, so the real change over the whole record is +54.9% — about +11.55% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Section 02
The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Laurel Gardens, Kendal values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Laurel Gardens, Kendal is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 76 | 71.0% | £246,000 | £78,400 – £450,000 |
| Semi-detached | 20 | 18.7% | £170,000 | £78,400 – £385,000 |
| Terraced | 11 | 10.3% | £138,500 | £80,000 – £176,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Laurel Gardens, Kendal
10 of the sales on record are leasehold and 97 freehold — 9.3% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £213,975 and the median freehold sale £220,000 — a gap of +2.8%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 10 | 9.3% | £213,975 |
| Freehold | 97 | 90.7% | £220,000 |
| New build | 46 | 43.0% | £163,500 |
| Existing home | 61 | 57.0% | £280,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -41.6%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Westmorland and Furness, 32.5% of 122,630 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 11.2% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Westmorland and Furness at £808 a month as of Jun 2026 — £598 for a one-bedroom home and £933 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £220,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.41% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of LA9, 164 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 79 violent, 1 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 7 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,413 per square metre, across 23 of the 107 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Laurel Gardens, Kendal sits in Westmorland and Furness, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Westmorland and Furness at 5.9 times median local earnings of £40,529 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
