The Rushcliffe average fell to £331,451 in June, down £11,533 since March. It is now the slowest annual rise of the seven Nottinghamshire districts.

The average home in the Rushcliffe borough was worth £331,451 in June 2026, down 1.9% in a single month, according to figures HM Land Registry and the Office for National Statistics published on 19 August.

That is the second monthly fall in a row. Prices in the borough have now dropped £11,533 since March, when the average peaked at £342,984.

Rushcliffe is still comfortably the most expensive district in Nottinghamshire. What has changed is its direction of travel: its annual growth rate is now the slowest of the county’s seven districts.

The numbers

  • £331,451, the average Rushcliffe home in June 2026
  • down 1.9% on May, the fifth steepest monthly fall of the 295 local authority districts in England
  • up 1.6% on June 2025, worth £5,170 over the year
  • down £11,533, or 3.4%, from the March 2026 peak of £342,984
  • £267,489 is the average first-time buyer price, up 2.1% over the year

One important caveat before you read anything into that. The UK House Price Index is a mean average, not a median. A handful of very large sales pull it upwards, and it covers the whole borough, from West Bridgford out to Gotham, Cotgrave, Bingham and East Leake. Those are not one market. Our West Bridgford house prices page works from individual sold prices and puts the median for the NG2 postcodes of West Bridgford well above the borough figure.

Slowest in Nottinghamshire

Rushcliffe’s annual rise of 1.6% is the smallest of the seven district councils in Nottinghamshire. As recently as April the borough was recording 4.6% annual growth, so the slowdown has taken two months.

The gap in price has not closed. A Rushcliffe home still costs £78,430 more than one in Broxtowe, the next dearest district in the county, and £139,279 more than one in the city. Across the East Midlands, only Derbyshire Dales (£353,364) and Harborough (£345,848) are dearer.

Of the 36 local authority districts in the East Midlands, Rushcliffe had the sixth slowest annual rise in June. Nationally the picture was mixed rather than gloomy: 62 of the 295 English districts recorded a fall over the year, and Rushcliffe was not one of them, but 113 of them fell over the month, and Rushcliffe’s 1.9% drop was among the five steepest.

The fall is bigger than it first looked

Last month’s release put May at £338,301 and an annual rise of 3.5%. In this release May has been revised down to £337,960, and the May monthly fall has been revised from 0.8% to 1.3%.

That matters more than the £341 difference suggests. It means the borough recorded a 1.3% fall in May and a 1.9% fall in June, so the recent slide is steeper than the first published figures showed. UK House Price Index figures are provisional for recent months and are revised as more sales are registered, so June’s number will move too.

Flats are the outlier

By property type, over the year to June 2026:

  • detached £478,960, up 1.2% (from £473,433)
  • semi-detached £306,053, up 2.3% (from £299,120)
  • terraced £238,979, up 2.5% (from £233,253)
  • flats and maisonettes £155,383, down 0.7% (from £156,403)

Flats are the only type in the borough worth less than a year ago. The larger, dearer end of the market is also the slowest growing: detached homes rose less than half as fast as terraces.

How many homes are selling

Sales volumes lag prices in this dataset, so the most recent published month is April 2026, with 92 sales across the borough. The Land Registry leaves the last two months blank until more transactions are registered.

That figure is worth reading next to the 2025 stamp duty distortion rather than through it. The threshold change on 1 April 2025 pulled completions forward, so Rushcliffe recorded 335 sales in March 2025 and just 70 in April 2025. In 2026 the same two months were far flatter, at 108 and 92. Both are below the 139 and 136 recorded in March and April 2024, when no threshold change was distorting the timing, so the quiet spring is not simply the 2025 comparison playing out.

What it means for you

If you are selling, the asking price a Rushcliffe agent quoted you in the spring was set against a market that has since given back three months of gains. The average is 3.4% below its March level. That is not a crash, and prices are still above where they were a year ago, but the momentum argument has gone.

If you are buying, you have marginally more room than at any point since last autumn, and less competition: fewer than 100 homes changed hands in the borough in April. First-time buyer prices are the exception, still up 2.1% over the year at £267,489.

If you are budgeting for stamp duty or council tax, neither follows this index. Stamp duty is charged on your actual purchase price, and council tax bands in England still rest on property values as at 1 April 1991. A falling index does not move your band.

If you want the West Bridgford figure rather than the borough one, the borough average is the wrong number for the town, and reliably too low. Use our West Bridgford house prices page, which is built from individual sold prices by postcode sector.
