How Elizabeth Crescent, Whitehaven prices moved
The chart tracks the median Elizabeth Crescent, Whitehaven house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2002. 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 | 2 | £74,500 | £165,425 |
| 2000s | 1 | £98,000 | £178,527 |
The highest yearly median on record for Elizabeth Crescent, Whitehaven is £98,000 in 2002; the lowest is £74,500 in 1995. Across the full 8-year record the cash median has moved from £74,500 to £98,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £165,425, so the real change over the whole record is +14.3% — about +1.92% 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: +31.5% in cash against +14.3% 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. Elizabeth Crescent, Whitehaven 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 | 65 | 98.5% | £120,000 | £31,000 – £305,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 1 | 1.5% | £65,000 | £65,000 – £65,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Elizabeth Crescent, Whitehaven
5 of the sales on record are leasehold and 61 freehold — 7.6% 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 £54,276 and the median freehold sale £149,950 — a gap of +176.3%. 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 | 5 | 7.6% | £54,276 |
| Freehold | 61 | 92.4% | £149,950 |
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.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of CA28, 152 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 73 violent, 7 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 6 anti-social behaviour.

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.

Elizabeth Crescent, Whitehaven sits in Cumberland, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cumberland at 4.2 times median local earnings of £42,808 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.
