About Nottingham

Nottingham is in the heart of the Midlands, England, 127 miles northwest of London and 280 miles southeast of Edinburgh. The city is famous for its role in the Robin Hood legend and the discovery of Ibuprofen; it is the most populous city in the East Midlands. The city was developed in the Anglo-Saxon era and was known as "a place of cave dwellings" in the 11th century.

In the modern day, the city has a bustling environment with a wide range of diverse cultures—Nottingham has become one of the most popular cities in the country for families. Excellent schools and universities provide families with the perfect educational system for their kids to learn and grow.

Great sporting facilities for all ages are scattered around the city and you will never find yourself short of activities. You won’t find yourself running out of shops, restaurants and bars in the city either, with great transport links to get you in and out of the city.

Nottingham is known for having an attractive housing market that has strong rental yields and a large student population, which is perfect for investors. Affordable prices make it attractive for those who have or want to start a family, as well as those who want to live in a big city, but can’t afford to live in the likes of London and Edinburgh.

What is the property market like in Nottingham?

The statistics show that the Nottingham housing market remains firm, despite the current UK market.

ONS figures show us that the average house price in Nottingham was £193,000 in the year to August 2025, which was similar to the state of the market a year earlier. East Midlands, by comparison, had an average increase of 4.4% in house prices during the same period, so Nottingham was actually falling behind a little. 

A similar story unfolded with first-time buyers as well, with the average of £178,000 spent on property not rising versus the previous year.

According to Zoopla, the average house price in Nottingham over the past year was actually much higher than ONS figures would suggest, sitting at £265,735 by August 2025. Detached properties sold for the most at £382,736, semi-detached properties sold for £248,859 and terraced houses sold for £191,665 on average.

Is now a good time to sell or buy a house in Nottingham?

Investment property in Nottingham comprises a large proportion of terraced housing, post-World War Two and mid-century housing, and gorgeous medieval housing in the city's central areas.

There are many larger Georgian and Victorian houses in the outer areas and many new-build developments that have emerged around the city. Since the city houses Nottingham University and Trent University, students are another consideration for Nottingham investment property.

Raphael Kaye, our Property Consultant Manager at The Property Buying Company, touches on the dilemma facing those in the Nottingham property market now:

Where we buy houses for cash in Nottingham

Nottingham is a trendy city known for its rich history, diverse culture, excellent universities, vibrant nightlife and affordable cost of living.

The city has many famous landmarks, such as the Robin Hood Statue, Nottingham Castle, the Lace Market, the National Justice Museum, and the Trent Bridge Cricket Ground.

Nottingham is surrounded by beautiful countryside, providing easy access to outdoor activities and scenic views. There are many beautiful areas of Nottingham to live in, but here are a few of our top picks:

How to sell your house in Nottingham

1. Local Nottingham estate agents

Local high-street estate agents in Nottingham will provide you with a service that covers the advertising and negotiations of your property. They should use online property portals for marketing your property and even help you arrange viewings.

What fees do estate agents in Nottingham charge?

Local estate agents in Nottingham tend to cost, on average, 1.3%+VAT of your original asking price, adding any hidden costs or packages that go towards marketing and negotiating on your behalf.

Are estate agents’ valuations accurate?

Estate agent valuations in Nottingham will vary depending on the honesty of the estate agent, as they may overvalue your property to win your business.

This may mean that you struggle to sell your property on the open market. If you choose to use an estate agent in Nottingham, you should ensure that they operate a 'no sale, no fee' service, as this will ensure that this does not occur.

How long do estate agents take to complete a house sale?

According to Home.co.uk data, it takes an average of 141 days to sell a property in Nottingham via an estate agent. Flats take the longest to sell, at an average of 233 days.

2. Nottingham property auctions

Property auctions in Nottingham are helpful if you wish to sell an unusual property.

You will need to know the difference between a guide and reserve price, as these are set for each property slot.

A guide price for a lot is like a valuation; it's the price that an auction house or the seller thinks the property is worth. A reserve price is a minimum payment that the vendor will accept, but this is usually kept private.

How much do auctions charge to sell your house in Nottingham?

If you decide to sell your property at auction in Nottingham, you will pay around £300 to put your home on the auction in the first place. You will then pay 2.5%+VAT of the selling price, adding a further charge for any additional services like negotiations and marketing.

Can anyone sell a property at auction? 

Yes, anyone can sell at auction in Nottingham. Most property types sell quite well at auction for below market value, but you run the risk of not selling at all.

Most bidders at auctions are investors or developers looking to buy properties that need renovation, so there may be better routes than selling your family property this way.

Are houses sold at auction cheaper?

Usually, a house at auction in Nottingham will sell for as little as 70% of the market value, but they sometimes sell for 10% more. The average is about 85% to 90% below market value.

3. Nottingham cash buyers

For people who need to sell their property fast in Nottingham, property cash buyers can offer a quick process that includes a valuation, sale processing and payment. After accepting an offer, the money typically gets processed within a few days.

How does the buying process work if you’re a cash buyer?

Being a cash buyer in Nottingham means that the company or person can buy your property for cash without the need for a mortgage or loan to complete. They simply make an offer and move swiftly to exchange and agree a completion date if it’s accepted.

How long does it take for a cash buyer to complete?

Usually, when you sell a property for cash, you can expect to complete it within two months of accepting the offer on your property.

We can buy your property in as little as seven days, and then it's down to the conveyancer to complete the process.

Do you need a solicitor if you are a cash buyer? 

You will still need a solicitor in Nottingham if you sell your home to a cash buyer or any house-buying service. They will carry out the legal conveyancing side of the process and ensure that everything is permitted.

How long does conveyancing take with a cash buyer? 

The average time for the conveyancing process is between six and eight weeks, depending on the experience and quality of the conveyancer. We will cover all your solicitor costs here at The Property Buying Company, so you don’t need to worry about that bit.

Why choose a cash buyer over Nottingham estate agents?
