A Market on the Move: Why Now is a Crucial Time to Buy or Sell in Bassetlaw
Here at Nicholson’s, we keep our finger firmly on the pulse of the local market – and the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show that Bassetlaw’s property market is gathering real momentum.
In February 2025, the average house price in Bassetlaw soared to £208,000, a jump of 9.5% year-on-year.
That’s a stronger rise than the East Midlands average – and it confirms what we’ve been seeing across Retford, Worksop, and our surrounding villages: demand is back, and confidence is building.
🛍 First-Time Buyers: Act Fast, Prices Are Rising
If you’re a first-time buyer, now is the time to get your foot on the ladder. The average first-time buyer purchase in Bassetlaw now sits at £182,000, up a hefty 10.7% from last year.
At Nicholson’s, we work closely with buyers at every stage. Our team can help you navigate the mortgage process, connect you with in-house advice, and find the right home before prices rise further.
