How Curwendale, Workington prices moved
The chart tracks the median Curwendale, Workington house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2012. 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 | 1 | £68,000 | £150,992 |
| 2000s | 1 | £179,000 | £326,085 |
| 2010s | 2 | £155,000 | £218,550 |
The highest yearly median on record for Curwendale, Workington is £179,000 in 2008; the lowest is £68,000 in 1999. Across the full 14-year record the cash median has moved from £68,000 to £155,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £138,555, so the real change over the whole record is +67.1% — about +4.03% 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: +127.9% in cash against +67.1% 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
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 Curwendale, Workington 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. Curwendale, Workington 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 | 58 | 73.4% | £147,000 | £25,000 – £290,000 |
| Semi-detached | 20 | 25.3% | £154,000 | £46,000 – £270,000 |
| Terraced | 1 | 1.3% | £60,000 | £60,000 – £60,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Curwendale, Workington
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 79 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 | 79 | 100.0% | £150,000 |
| New build | 2 | 2.5% | £63,250 |
| Existing home | 77 | 97.5% | £152,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -58.4%. 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.
Section 07
Living in Curwendale, Workington
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 |
|---|---|---|
| A | 656 | 0.5% |
| B | 13,329 | 9.7% |
| C | 37,364 | 27.1% |
| D | 54,653 | 39.7% |
| E | 20,980 | 15.2% |
| F | 7,759 | 5.6% |
| G | 3,090 | 2.2% |
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 £150,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.36% 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 CA14, 180 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 108 violent, 6 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 5 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.

Within Workington the street ranks 88 of 461 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £89,000 (+68.5%).

The full range on record runs from £25,000 to £290,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Curwendale, Workington 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Curwendale, Workington?

How many homes have sold in Curwendale, Workington?

When were Curwendale, Workington house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £179,000, set in 2008. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 26 Sep 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.
