Where people buy
City-centre apartments cluster around the Lace Market and Hockley, and Lenton and Dunkirk are the main student districts. West Bridgford, in the neighbouring Rushcliffe borough, is a popular suburb but is counted separately from the Nottingham City Council area shown here.
What drives demand
Two large universities drive the rental market, and the city is the main centre for the East Midlands. The tightly drawn council boundary means the median here reflects more inner-city homes than in many other cities.
Practical points for overseas buyers
Nottingham runs selective landlord licensing in parts of the city, so check whether a property is covered and what it costs. Nottingham City Council has also had well-publicised financial difficulties. The 2% non-resident stamp duty surcharge applies.
