The Worksop property market recorded 1,022 residential sales in the 12 months to 31 May 2026, with a median sale price of £190,000. This places Worksop £13k below the Nottinghamshire county median of £202,500, and £95k below the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Worksop have been broadly stable, a year-on-year change of 0%. Within Nottinghamshire, Worksop ranks 6th by price out of 7 principal towns, and 6th by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Worksop median prices moved from £195,000 in Q3 2024 to £196,000 in Q4 2025, a change of +0.5% over 5 quarters. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

Bassetlaw District Council, the local planning authority covering Worksop, approved 213 residential planning applications and refused 74 in the last 12 months, with 134 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 74%.

Those applications propose around 1,058 homes, an estimated £197.5m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Bassetlaw District Council covers more than one town in Nottinghamshire, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Worksop alone.
