Nottingham has quickly become one of the Midlands’ most attractive locations for investors looking to expand their HMO portfolios. The cities property investment market is supported by a large student population, a growing professional rental market, and comparatively accessible property prices.
With a student population of more than 60,000 across it’s two universities, Nottingham has been recognised as one of the world’s top 50 student cities in the QS Best Student Cities 2026 ranking. This helps create consistent demand for well-located, high-quality shared accommodation across key areas of the city.
Nottingham offers a strong balance between rental demand and lower entry costs compared with many larger UK cities. According to the Office for National Statistics, the average house price in Nottingham was around £195,000 in early 2026, while private rents in the city continued to rise year on year. This combination of relatively affordable purchase prices and upward rental pressure can make HMOs particularly attractive.
Demand for Nottingham HMOs is further strengthened by the city’s diverse tenant base. Alongside students, the city attracts graduates, young professionals and key workers who are often seeking flexible, affordable accommodation close to transport links, employment hubs, universities and the city centre. With Nottingham Trent University alone reporting an international student population of around 6,000, investors can benefit from a broad pool of potential tenants looking for modern, well-managed shared living options.
