Letting in Nottingham

Nottingham is home to two large universities, so student lets play a big part in the market, particularly in Lenton, Dunkirk and the streets around the city centre. The city's growing professional workforce also keeps demand high for modern flats in the centre and for houses in areas such as Sherwood, Carrington and Mapperley.

Because the city is tightly drawn, many family suburbs such as West Bridgford sit just outside its boundary, so the right agent and rent depend on exactly where your property is. A local valuation takes all of that into account.

What you get from a free rental valuation

A rental valuation is the first step to letting any property in Nottingham, and it costs you nothing. When a local agent values your property, you can expect:

  • A realistic monthly rent based on similar homes that have recently let near you, not just asking prices online.
  • Advice on what affects the rent, such as furnishing, parking, outdoor space and the condition of the kitchen and bathroom.
  • A view on local demand, including who is likely to rent your property and how quickly it could let.
  • An explanation of the services on offer, from finding a tenant to full management.
  • A clear quote for fees, so you know what letting would cost before you commit to anything.

Even if you aren't ready to let yet, a valuation gives you a figure to plan with, whether you're moving out, buying to let or deciding whether to sell.

How it works

  1. Enter your postcode and a few details about the property: its type, number of bedrooms and when you'd like to let it.
  2. We pass your request on to the agent that covers your postcode in Nottingham.
  3. Get your valuation. The agent gives you a rent figure and explains its services and fees.
  4. Decide in your own time. There's no obligation. Look at the figure and the quote, ask questions, and only go ahead if it's right for you.

Rules for landlords in Nottingham

Letting in England changed on 1 May 2026, when the Renters' Rights Act came into force. Tenancies no longer have a fixed end date, section 21 “no-fault” notices have ended, and rent can only be increased once a year using a formal notice. Read our guide to what the Renters' Rights Act means for landlords.

From 15 December 2026, landlords also start registering on the new national landlord database, region by region, with every region due to be registered by 14 November 2027. See our landlord database guide for what you'll need.

Larger houses in multiple occupation need a licence everywhere in England, and some councils also license other rented homes. Check with Nottingham City Council whether a licensing scheme covers your property before you let it. A local agent can tell you at your valuation.

Questions to ask at your valuation

  • What rent would you advertise my property at, and what is that based on?
  • What's included in each service, and what costs extra?
  • Is your fee quoted with or without VAT?
  • How long is the contract, and is there a cost to leave?
  • Who will look after my property day to day?
  • How do you reference tenants, and what happens if rent isn't paid?
