How Moorlands Drive, Workington prices moved
The chart tracks the median Moorlands Drive, Workington house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2023. 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 | 5 | £59,950 | £133,117 |
| 2000s | 6 | £76,500 | £139,360 |
| 2010s | 2 | £135,000 | £190,350 |
| 2020s | 1 | £255,500 | £261,054 |
The highest yearly median on record for Moorlands Drive, Workington is £255,500 in 2023; the lowest is £43,500 in 1997. Across the full 29-year record the cash median has moved from £59,950 to £255,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £133,117, so the real change over the whole record is +107.4% — about +2.64% 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: +29.9% in cash against -19.3% 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. Moorlands Drive, 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 | 104 | 56.5% | £104,950 | £40,500 – £322,500 |
| Semi-detached | 46 | 25.0% | £55,000 | £38,850 – £186,250 |
| Terraced | 34 | 18.5% | £65,000 | £34,000 – £166,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Moorlands Drive, Workington
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 184 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 | 184 | 100.0% | £90,500 |
| New build | 32 | 17.4% | £70,500 |
| Existing home | 152 | 82.6% | £108,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -34.7%. 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 3 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 Moorlands Drive, 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% |

| 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 £90,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.88% 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 229 of 461 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £89,000 (+1.7%).

Moorlands Drive, 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 Moorlands Drive, Workington?

How many homes have sold in Moorlands Drive, Workington?
184 sales are on record for Moorlands Drive, Workington, the most recent completing on 27 Apr 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Moorlands Drive, Workington house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £255,500, set in 2023. 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 27 Apr 2026. 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.
