How Scaw Road, Workington prices moved
The chart tracks the median Scaw Road, Workington house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2022. 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 | £83,500 | £185,409 |
| 2000s | 2 | £77,000 | £140,271 |
| 2010s | 1 | £160,000 | £225,600 |
| 2020s | 2 | £160,000 | £163,478 |
The highest yearly median on record for Scaw Road, Workington is £269,250 in 2020; the lowest is £77,000 in 2002. Across the full 24-year record the cash median has moved from £83,500 to £160,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £170,137, so the real change over the whole record is +9.0% — about +0.37% 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: +5.8% in cash against -29.5% 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. Scaw Road, 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 | 43 | 56.6% | £205,000 | £30,000 – £675,000 |
| Terraced | 22 | 28.9% | £105,055 | £28,000 – £160,000 |
| Semi-detached | 11 | 14.5% | £150,000 | £50,500 – £215,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Scaw Road, Workington
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 76 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 | 76 | 100.0% | £141,500 |
| New build | 2 | 2.6% | £137,000 |
| Existing home | 74 | 97.4% | £141,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -3.2%. 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 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.

Living in Scaw Road, 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% |

| E | 20,980 | 15.2% |

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 £141,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.68% 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 104 of 461 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £89,000 (+59.0%).

Scaw Road, 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 Scaw Road, Workington?

How many homes have sold in Scaw Road, Workington?

When were Scaw Road, Workington house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £269,250, set in 2020. 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 22 Jan 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.
