Concerns that Ulverston could become a ‘ghost town’ due to rising house prices have been dismissed. According to figures published by Land Registry, house prices in South Lakeland are increasing more than the North West average. But readers of The Mail were not entirely convinced, with one saying it was quite the opposite . Barrow Insider said: “If the prices are high it’s because people want to live there.

Just attracting more people from out of the area to move there.” Ian Mcskimmings said: “Yes, totally. Been on the cards for years. Just like what happened in the Lakes. Kids brought up there cannot afford mortgages and it will be out of towners who will buy. It’s sad.”
