NG3 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NG3 (Nottingham). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What NG3 5 homes really sell for

In the NG3 5 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £215,000, from 58 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £285,300, sitting well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.

NG3 5 prices by floor area

By floor space, homes in NG3 5 have sold for about £2,860 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so NG3 5 trades 25% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical NG3 5 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 88%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 33% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+31.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−20.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.

Sales activity in NG3 5

Over the last twelve months of data, 58 sales completed in NG3 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 269 sales a year before the financial crisis and 182 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

What kind of market NG3 5 is

This is a thin market: 58 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

What homes rent for around NG3 5

The local authority for NG3 5 is Nottingham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,006 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £730 a month here against £1,452 for four or more bedrooms.

£1,006 a month is £12,072 a year, which against the £215,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.6%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
