These are Lancaster's charges for 2026-27, the authority LA5 falls in — not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Deprivation (IMD)
Area profile for LA5
Across the 12 sampled LA5 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 9, with a median of decile 8 of 10 — where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
LA5 0SP, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 8 of 10 — where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so LA5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in LA5 that have recorded sales and 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home.

Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in LA5, band by band
Lancaster's council tax for 2026-27 set against the LA5 median sold price of £270,000 across 250 recorded sales — the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearLancaster | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £270,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,669 | £139 | 0.62% |

| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,225 | £185 | 0.82% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,503 | £209 | 0.93% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,006 | £417 | 1.85% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the LA5 median sold price — a comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
