What sits behind the figures

Prices across North Lincolnshire moved +49.4% over ten years on the UK House Price Index, and prices are at or near their highest.

Manufacturing is 23.7% of employee jobs in North Lincolnshire, against 7.1% across Great Britain (15,000 jobs in 2015, 18,000 in 2024). Where one industry carries that much of a local economy, rents and prices tend to move with it. Employee jobs across North Lincolnshire moved +2.7% from 2015 to 2024 (ONS Business Register and Employment Survey).

57% of the energy performance certificates lodged across Barrow-Upon-Humber's postcode districts are below band C (2,052 certificates). 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.

A buy-to-let at £152,500 pays £8,175 in Stamp Duty Land Tax, including the 5% surcharge on additional homes.

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

Each yield is North Lincolnshire's, for the kind of home that town's prices point to, and the year's price move is measured across North Lincolnshire as a whole, so towns pointing to the same kind of home share a yield.
