The Rushcliffe average fell to £324,012 in July, its first yearly fall since 2024 and the weakest in Nottinghamshire. Prices are down £20,439 since March.

House prices in the Rushcliffe borough are now lower than a year ago. The average home was worth £324,012 in July 2026, down 1.5% on July 2025.

That is the first fall over a year since October 2024. The figures come from the UK House Price Index, which HM Land Registry and the Office for National Statistics published on 16 September. (HM Land Registry and ONS)

Rushcliffe is still the most expensive district in Nottinghamshire by a long way. But of the county’s seven districts it now has the weakest annual change, below even the City of Nottingham.

The numbers

  • £324,012, the average Rushcliffe home in July 2026
  • down 1.8% on June, the third monthly fall in a row after a flat April
  • down 1.5% on July 2025, £4,923 less than a year ago
  • down £20,439, or 5.9%, from the March 2026 peak of £344,451
  • £261,610, the average first-time buyer price, down 1.2% over the year

Two caveats matter here. The index is a mean average, not a median, so a few very large sales move it. And it covers the whole borough, from West Bridgford out to Bingham, Cotgrave and East Leake, which are not one market. Our West Bridgford house prices page works from individual sold prices by postcode.

Weakest in Nottinghamshire

Only two other districts in the county, Broxtowe and Mansfield, also fell over the year, and both by less. The City of Nottingham, a separate council, fell 1.3%.

Average house price and annual change, July 2026, UK House Price Index
AreaAverage priceChange on a year
Rushcliffe£324,012−1.5%
Broxtowe£252,624−0.8%
Gedling£241,473+0.9%

City of Nottingham£190,200−1.3%
Nottinghamshire£230,105+1.4%
England£293,479+1.1%

The gap in price is still wide. A Rushcliffe home costs £71,388 more than one in Broxtowe, the next dearest district in the county. In June’s figures as first published, it was £78,430.

Nationally, Rushcliffe was out of step. England’s average rose 0.7% in July and 1.1% over the year. Of the 295 local authority districts in England, 85 recorded a fall over the year, and Rushcliffe was one of them.

Every type of home is down

Every property type in the borough is now worth less than in July 2025:

  • Detached houses: £467,674, down 1.7%
  • Semi-detached houses: £299,445, down 0.7%
  • Terraced houses: £234,227, down 1.0%
  • Flats and maisonettes: £151,911, down 4.5%

In last month’s release, only flats were below their level a year earlier. A first-time buyer paid an average of £261,610, down 1.2%. A home mover paid £378,623, down 1.7%.

The June figures were revised down

This release also rewrote last month’s numbers. That is normal: the index is revised as late sales are registered. But the revisions all pointed the same way.

Rushcliffe figures as first published and as revised, UK House Price Index
FigureFirst published (19 August)Revised (16 September)
June 2026 average£331,451£330,106
Change on Maydown 1.9%down 2.6%
Change on a yearup 1.6%up 1.2%
March 2026 peak£342,984£344,451

So the peak was higher than first thought, and the fall since has been steeper.

The borough’s monthly figures rest on few sales. The latest month with a published sales count is May 2026, with 109 sales across the whole borough, so one or two large completions can move the average. July’s figure will itself be revised next month. (UK House Price Index full data file, July 2026; June 2026 file)

What it means for you

  • If you are buying, prices across the borough have come off by about 6% since March. That gives more room to negotiate than there was in spring, especially on flats.
  • If you are selling, a valuation based on a spring sale nearby may now be too high. Ask your agent which month their comparable sales completed in.
  • If you are remortgaging, lenders value against recent sales. A lower valuation can change your loan-to-value band, so check it before you commit.
  • One month of borough data is not a trend on its own. Four falling months, and a downward revision, are more meaningful than any single figure.

The next release, with August’s figures, is due next month. Street-level sold prices, council tax bands and bin days are on our house prices, council tax and bin collection pages.
