What sits behind the figures

Prices across Angus moved +26.5% over ten years on the UK House Price Index, and prices are at or near their highest.

Agriculture, forestry and fishing is 10.5% of employee jobs in Angus, against 1.4% across Great Britain (4,000 jobs in 2015, 4,000 in 2024). Where one industry carries that much of a local economy, rents and prices tend to move with it. Employee jobs across Angus moved −2.6% from 2015 to 2024 (ONS Business Register and Employment Survey).

39% of the energy performance certificates lodged across Angus's postcode districts are below band C (72,671 certificates), and 51% of privately rented homes. Clarity measures areas rather than individual homes, so this is the share of the local stock likely to need energy-efficiency work before it meets a band C standard, not a survey of any one property.

The five-year forecast quoted above (Savills, Scotland) is a regional figure for Scotland as a whole, not a forecast for Angus, and Clarity does not rank on it.
