How King Street, Wigton prices moved
The chart tracks the median King Street, Wigton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2015. 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 | 3 | £32,000 | £71,055 |
| 2000s | 5 | £48,000 | £87,442 |
| 2010s | 1 | £87,000 | £122,670 |
The highest yearly median on record for King Street, Wigton is £90,000 in 2005; the lowest is £27,000 in 1995. Across the full 21-year record the cash median has moved from £27,000 to £87,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £59,953, so the real change over the whole record is +104.6% — about +3.64% 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: -3.3% in cash against -25.2% 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.

Homes that sold twice

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. King Street, Wigton 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 | 70 | 66.7% | £60,000 | £10,000 – £355,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 16 | 15.2% | £40,000 | £13,500 – £145,000 |
| Semi-detached | 11 | 10.5% | £76,000 | £11,000 – £168,000 |
| Detached | 8 | 7.6% | £205,000 | £110,000 – £425,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in King Street, Wigton
16 of the sales on record are leasehold and 89 freehold — 15.2% 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 £41,500 and the median freehold sale £70,000 — a gap of +68.7%. 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 | 16 | 15.2% | £41,500 |
| Freehold | 89 | 84.8% | £70,000 |
| New build | 2 | 1.9% | £125,000 |
| Existing home | 103 | 98.1% | £65,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +92.3%. 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.
A further 15 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.

Living in King Street, Wigton
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Cumberland, 37.3% of 137,831 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.9% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Cumberland at £670 a month as of Jun 2026 — £499 for a one-bedroom home and £772 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £65,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.37% 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.
No street-level crime was published for CA7 in Jun 2026 by Cumbria. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

How King Street, Wigton compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. King Street, Wigton sits below that national figure — -58.7%.
Within Wigton the street ranks 242 of 288 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £115,000 (-43.5%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £195 per square metre, across 1 of the 105 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

King Street, Wigton 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. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in King Street, Wigton?

When were King Street, Wigton house prices at their highest?
