Sherwood market report NG5, Nottingham
The NG5 (Sherwood) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 42,595 sales registered with HM Land Registry in NG5 (Nottingham) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 415 registered 2026 sales put the NG5 (Nottingham) median at £221,000, up 21% on five years earlier, with a mean of £231,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,640 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 42,595 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
NG5 is a postcode district covering Sherwood, Arnold, Woodthorpe in Nottingham. It is the most useful size for market figures: tight enough to describe somewhere real, large enough that sales keep coming and the medians hold steady.

In cash terms the typical NG5 home went from £43,500 in 1995 to £221,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 134%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 5% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NG5 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+27.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−6.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £312,500 against £119,500 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

What NG5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.8% | −4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 915 NG5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,817 sales a year before the financial crisis and 971 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around NG5
NG5 falls under Nottingham, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Nottingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,006 a month is £12,072 a year, which against the £221,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.

What is for sale in NG5 right now
Everything above is what homes in NG5 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 441 homes currently on the market from 14 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price level with the NG5 median sold price.
Of everything listed here, 30% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: NG prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the NG area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £242,000 | £340,000 (+40%) | £500,000 (+47%) | £685,000 (+37%) |
| Semi-detached | £170,000 | £195,000 (+15%) | £235,000 (+21%) | £330,000 (+40%) | £462,500 (+40%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
