What sits behind the figures

Prices across Tewkesbury moved +46.2% over ten years on the UK House Price Index, and prices are at or near their highest.

Manufacturing is 21.2% of employee jobs in Tewkesbury, against 7.1% across Great Britain (9,000 jobs in 2015, 11,000 in 2024). Where one industry carries that much of a local economy, rents and prices tend to move with it. Employee jobs across Tewkesbury moved +13.0% from 2015 to 2024 (ONS Business Register and Employment Survey).

49% of the energy performance certificates lodged across Tewkesbury's postcode districts are below band C (9,966 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 £250,000 pays £15,000 in Stamp Duty Land Tax, including the 5% surcharge on additional homes.

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