The median advertised room in a shared house in Nottingham is £542 a month, and half of all rooms sit between £480 and £625. Measured from 109 live listings on 2026-08-09. No official statistics track what a room costs, so we do.
Sharing saves about £190 a month against the official average one-bed in Nottingham (£732, ONS) before bills, so roughly £2,280 a year.
Bills change the picture. The median all-in room (bills included) is £550, against £500 plus bills for the rest. Compare the true monthly total, not the headline rent: gas, electricity, water, broadband and council tax on top of a bare rent usually cost £80 to £150 a month per person.
84% of rooms accept students. Most of the market is open to you, so don't settle for a bad room.
The middle option. Studios here run about £843 a month: between a £542 room and a £732 one-bed, for a front door of your own.
