New figures from Zoopla reveal that the Nottingham housing market is the strongest in the UK.

The Daily Mail has reported that Nottingham property owners are selling their homes in good time and with little discounts too.

Nottingham Housing Market

According to the latest reports by Hometrack, Nottingham was joint third for growth again. Nottingham house prices grew 5.2% over the last 12 months. The city was joint third with Belfast and was just behind Manchester at 5.6% growth and Leicester at 6.1% growth.

Nottingham house price growth is also high above the rest of the UK average, which currently stands at just 3.1%!

The other great news here is that Nottingham had a below average price discount of just 2 per cent. This means that Vendors who are looking to sell their property are hardly having to accept discounted offers. Sales are also agreed quicker than average in Nottingham. The average time to achieve a sale was also less than 2 months.

Nottingham housing market remains strong

Interestingly, some of the top cities for growth last month have seen a large drop. Edinburgh, for example, registered property price growth of 6.6% last month (year on year), but has dropped to only 3.0% growth this month.

Nottingham remains resilient and has stayed strong. As mentioned, the city remains in the top three for growth across the UK.

East Midlands housing market

The East Midlands as a whole has seen growth over both the last month and the last twelve months. Rightmove report that there is a month on month increase of 0.7% and an annual  increase of 2.7%. The East Midlands is also one of the quickest areas to agree a sale in England, just behind the West Midlands.
