There is no denying that Nottingham and the surrounding county has a good mix of property styles, sizes and prices.
While there is still the chance to pick up a bargain, perhaps at auction or a home needing a bit of TLC, property generally came in at an average overall price of £241,516 in Nottingham over the last year and at £240,674 in the county, according the Rightmove.
That's between a 10 and 12 percent rise compared to the previous year.
And prices around the county can stretch into the millions.
The most expensive street in Notts are identified by property website Zoopla every year. Published annually every September, the current top ten list makes interesting reading with roads in areas from Bramcote to Langar, and with average values (rounded to the nearest £1,000) ranging from £1,045,000 to an eye-watering £2,516,000.
Currently at the top of the list is Chilwell Lane - a road that links Chilwell with Bramcote. There is a mix of housing at a range of price points on this road but with the creation of a luxury new homes development in this location recently it is perhaps this that has contributed to the road taking the top slot in the list. Baxter Green was a £27million project by Willmark Homes that was built on the former St John's College.
