NOTTINGHAM N ottingham is undeniably most famous for the legendary outlaw Robin Hood. And though residents are not likely to report a green-cloaked, communityspirited highwayman helping them pay the monthly bills with the proceeds of a roadside heist what they will find in the East Midlands’ biggest city is a good quality of life that won’t leave them penniless. According to cost of living database Numbeo Nottingham residents pay 20.53 per cent less than London residents and 9 per cent less than those in Leeds. Average monthly expenses are estimated at £553 in Nottingham compared with £741 in London and £633 in Leeds. And let’s not forget, this really is a city with something for everyone. It has always had a thriving city centre but the resurgence of its food and drink economy means visitors are spoiled for choice between pubs, bars and live music venues and restaurants. It is also home to a variety of theatres and art galleries and sports fans will not suffer, with two professional football clubs, Trent Bridge Cricket Ground and the National Watersports Centre all within easy reach. And the other good news is that property in Nottingham is also quite reasonable, so we take a look at a few different options depending on who your target tenant is. >> Photo: Sherwood Forest Nottingham 8 | LandlordVoice | January 2016 January 2016 | LandlordVoice | 9
