How Derwent Bank, Workington prices moved
The chart tracks the median Derwent Bank, Workington house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2018. 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 | £43,500 | £96,591 |
| 2000s | 2 | £55,500 | £101,105 |
| 2010s | 2 | £141,000 | £198,810 |
The highest yearly median on record for Derwent Bank, Workington is £155,000 in 2015; the lowest is £43,500 in 1995. Across the full 24-year record the cash median has moved from £43,500 to £141,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £96,591, so the real change over the whole record is +94.5% — about +2.94% 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: +88.0% in cash against +29.9% 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.

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.

Derwent Bank, 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.

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

How many homes have sold in Derwent Bank, Workington?
81 sales are on record for Derwent Bank, Workington, the most recent completing on 11 Apr 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +88.0% between 2002 and 2018. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +29.9%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Derwent Bank, Workington house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £155,000, set in 2015. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 11 Apr 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.
