Rightmove have also released figures for August property prices within the East Midlands as a whole. They state the average price has risen from £207,378 to £208,254. This is an average monthly change across the region of 0.4%. The average property price in August 2016 was only £194,908 for the East Midlands.

Rightmove also confirm that the Midlands are outperforming the rest of the country. As a whole, most property prices elsewhere are dropping at a rate of 0.9%. They believe the reason for the defiance in Nottingham and the surrounding areas is because there is a huge buyer demand with a limited supply of houses.
