How Grasmere Road, Lancaster prices moved
The chart tracks the median Grasmere Road, Lancaster house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2024. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £42,000 | £93,260 |
| 2000s | 7 | £118,000 | £214,961 |
| 2010s | 4 | £145,000 | £204,450 |
| 2020s | 3 | £190,000 | £194,130 |
The highest yearly median on record for Grasmere Road, Lancaster is £232,475 in 2024; the lowest is £40,250 in 1997. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £42,000 to £232,475.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £93,260, so the real change over the whole record is +162.3% — about +3.38% 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.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +50.0% in cash against +10.0% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Grasmere Road, Lancaster 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 154 | 89.5% | £130,000 | £31,000 – £290,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Grasmere Road, Lancaster
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 172 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 172 | 100.0% | £129,500 |
A further 1 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Lancaster, 36.5% of 70,375 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 6.2% 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 Lancaster at £811 a month as of Jun 2026 — £593 for a one-bedroom home and £911 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £129,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.52% 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 LA1, 434 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 151 violent, 15 burglary, 10 vehicle-related and 81 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.6 times busier.
Against the 142,934 residents the 2021 census counted in Lancaster, that is 3.04 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
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.

Grasmere Road, Lancaster sits in Lancaster, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Lancaster at 5.8 times median local earnings of £34,731 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Grasmere Road, Lancaster?

How many homes have sold in Grasmere Road, Lancaster?

When were Grasmere Road, Lancaster house prices at their highest?

What is the price per square metre in Grasmere Road, Lancaster?
£1,777 per square metre, from the 48 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

The latest sale shown here completed on 21 Jul 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
