What sits behind the figures

Prices across Warwick moved +32.3% over ten years on the UK House Price Index, and prices are at or near their highest.

Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply is 6.0% of employee jobs in Warwick, against 0.40% across Great Britain (3,500 jobs in 2015, 6,000 in 2024). Where one industry carries that much of a local economy, rents and prices tend to move with it. Employee jobs across Warwick moved +19.0% from 2015 to 2024 (ONS Business Register and Employment Survey).

42% of the energy performance certificates lodged across Warwick's postcode districts are below band C (23,826 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 £290,000 pays £19,000 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 Warwick, and Clarity does not rank on it.

Towns in Warwick

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