Over the past year, average property prices in Nottingham have increased by 18%, with the average property now worth £216,446*
As the Stamp Duty Holiday price threshold drops, the demand for properties still remains above pre-pandemic levels!
Rising demand coupled with a record sale to stock ratio, has contributed to 13.4% annual house price increase in June, the highest level since November 2004.
With many households undertaking a lifestyle re-evaluation following the pandemic, huge demand has been caused, leading to record house price growth.
The UK housing market starts Autumn with momentum, a post-lockdown mini-boom making summer 2020 busier than usual.

In line with the new government guidelines confirmed on 24th September, we have implemented some further measures to the way in which we are operating.
Customers are welcome to visit our offices (both West Bridgford and Keyworth) but in the interests of continuing to put our customers and employees safety first, as well as controlling the number of visitors, our front doors will be locked. Please make an appointment in advance, or give us a call prior to popping in. Should you have an appointment to visit our Lettings Department, please enter via the steps at the side of our office.
We continue to offer valuations, viewings, move-ins and move-outs – adhering to the strict government but in addition to this, our virtual viewings and valuations will remain, should you prefer to use these services instead.
On entering our offices, we request that you wear a mask and where screens are not available, our staff will be wearing masks as well.
We are displaying the official NHS QR code and would request that on entering the office, you ‘check-in’ using the NHS Track & Trace App.

The Government introduced legislation to both the private and social rented sectors in England on Saturday 29 August 2020, meaning landlords must now provide tenants with six months’ notice seeking possession of their property, under the Coronavirus Act 2020, until March 2021, except in the most serious cases, such as anti-social behaviour four weeks’ notice instead of six months; domestic violence (two weeks’ notice); rent arrears over six months (four weeks’ notice); and tenancies gained through fraud (two weeks’ notice). Also, where the grounds for eviction relate to the tenant’s immigration status or the tenancy is an assured tenancy and possession is sought following the death of the former tenant, it will be three months’ notice.
The validity of a Section 21 Notice has been extended from 6 to 10 months to accommodate this change.
It is important to note: notices served on and before 28 August 2020 are not affected by the above changes, and must be at least three months.
In addition, should you have to apply to the courts for possession of your property, new court rules have been agreed, which will come into force on 20 September 2020 meaning landlords will need to set out in their claim any relevant information about a tenant’s circumstances, including the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Where this information is not provided, judges will have the ability to adjourn proceedings.
When courts do reopen for eviction proceedings, the 'most egregious cases' will be prioritised, including those where crime is involved or where the landlord has not received rent for a year.
We are delighted to have just presented the Royston & Lund Sporting Achievement Award to Emily Hughes at Abbey Road Primary School. At a time when Year 6 pupils have missed out on so much during their last year in primary school, it was a great honour to be able to present the award, bringing some positivity and sharing this fantastic accomplishment!
The deserved winner, Emily, is a great example to us all and it would appear there is not a sport that she doesn’t throw herself in to. The award was made on the school fields on a beautiful sunny day, with everyone at a suitable social distance.
Huge congratulations to Emily from all of us at R&L!
In accordance with government guidelines our staff are now back working from both our West Bridgford and Keyworth offices. We are doing this in a safe and secure manner, ensuring social distancing at all times. Customers are welcome to visit our offices but in the interests of continuing to put our customers and employees safety first, we will be managing a “one in one out policy”. We continue to offer valuations, viewings, move-ins and move-outs – adhering to the strict government guidelines.

As we enter our fourth month of lockdown in the UK, unsurprisingly, many are considering moving home or relocating altogether. Whether you're looking for a home with a garden, a dedicated workspace, or more space in general, we've got you covered. We've provided some guidance to get you started on the search for your ideal home.
Start your home search by having a browse online at the properties available in your desired area and within your ideal budget. This will give you an idea of what is on the market and is realistic for your means.
Once you've found some options that you're happy with, contact the estate agent to schedule a virtual viewing. The agent should have the available tools to help conduct a successful virtual viewing, guiding you through the property and answering any questions along the way. The benefit of viewing a property virtually is that you can decide whether you're seriously invested in the home before physically visiting it. You can even organise several viewings within a single day, all from the comfort of your home.
Once you've viewed the property virtually, there may be questions that you've forgotten to ask during the viewing, perhaps you'd like a better look at a certain room or feature, or maybe you'd like to discuss your options with the agent. Do you need to know more about the area? Are you wondering about local schooling or transport? Take the opportunity to get back in touch with the agent to clarify any doubts or queries before you move on to the next stage.
If you're serious about the property, you may want to visit it in person. Although some areas of the UK are still restricted, if you live in an area where lockdown has eased slightly, you'll want to ask the agent to provide you with their COVID-19 Health and Safety guidelines. This will give you insight into how they are conducting business and their procedure regarding physical viewings. Only when you are satisfied with the measures they are taking and reassured that they are operating in line with Government guidance, should you request a physical viewing take place.
