Why move to Nottingham?
Nottingham is a city with vast heritage, and home to the famous Sherwood Forest and the legend of Robin Hood. For any historians out there, the city is full of beautiful Victorian architecture and also the majestic Nottingham castle, which was once a major royal fortress and residence.
Education
There are two excellent universities in the city; multi – award winning Nottingham University, who are pioneering the way in reducing the environmental impact in the aerospace industry, and Nottingham Trent University which dates back to 1843 and was named University of the Year 2019 by The Guardian.
The city is also home to two fantastic hospitals; Queens Medical Centre, a teaching hospital on Derby Road, which was once the UK’s largest hospital and research hospital, Nottingham City. The BBC filmed a 6-part series at Nottingham City which did wonders in highlighting the amazing work our NHS carries out on a daily basis.
Transport
If you are looking to relocate to Nottingham, or the surrounding suburbs, getting in and around the city can be done with ease thanks to the excellent tram links. Particularly useful for students, commuters and those wanting to enjoy the city’s nightlife.
Hospitality
There are a vast array of clubs, bars and restaurants in Nottingham catering for all tastes. Highly regarded Restaurant Sat Bains on Lenton Lane has an outstanding reputation for exceptional food and service, but be warned, if you do wish to eat there you will need to make a reservation as they are booked weeks in advance. For any Indian food enthusiasts, why not try Calcutta Club on Maid Marian Way, who are renowned for their wide selection of traditional vegetarian food and fish dishes.
Local market
Investors and potential landlords who are researching the area should note, Nottingham is a hot spot for rentals and has an excellent track record of sustaining high yields. The Your Move Nottingham branch manages a host of properties from student lets, detached cottages in surrounding villages to city centre apartments and penthouses, priced from £400pcm to in excess of £2000pcm respectively.
In terms of properties for sale, the team have noticed an increase in the number of ‘flip’ properties being sold at auction which often have a resale value of 120%. However, if you are a potential owner-occupier, Jennifer and her team have a huge mix of properties priced anywhere between £60,000 up to £1.5 million for the likes of a 5 bedroom detached property with stables and land in the surrounding picturesque villages.
