According to the Bank of England and HM Land Registry, whose House Price Index draws on more than 1,000,000 registered property transactions a year, the city average price and region trend on this page use the April 2026 House Price Index release and the June 2026 Bank of England quoted-rate snapshot under the Open Government Licence. Our methodology states which geography each figure describes.
Geography used: the headline average price is the Nottingham metro figure from the metros table; the year-on-year change and trend chart are the broader East Midlands region House Price Index series (not a place-level YoY). Deposit, loan, and payment maths are derived from the metro price plus the Bank of England quoted rate for the matching LTV band.
The verdict
On Nottingham's £192,543 average price, a 10% deposit brings the loan to £173,289, and at today's 4.76% two-year fix that works out to about £989 a month - lenders would generally look for a household income close to £39,000.
