Addressing the Nottingham Property Crisis Through Co Living

Kosy Co Living see it as a duty to solve the current property crisis within Nottingham. Kosy Co Living will do this by offering affordable co living and build to rent opportunities in key locations within Nottingham. Our Co Living and build to rent schemes look to maximise space whilst filling key gaps within the property market, making housing and accommodation sustainable for its residents. Co Living and build to rent schemes are the most efficient way of providing this to residents, whilst added the additional benefits of a social style co living experience. 

A prosperous metropolis and the 6th largest city in the UK, Nottingham is a great city to live and work. The city’s resident population is 337,100 (the wider metro area is 800,000), and it has two universities with over 60,000 students and two colleges. It has a young age-stricture and 30% of the population are aged 18 to 29.  The city has an excellent range of shops, bars, restaurants and attractions, and it is particularly renowned for its nightlife and thriving music scene. Nottingham is often voted as one of the best places for a night out in the UK. 

Nottingham has great transport links, with London reachable in just over 1.5 hours. There are also plenty of rural retreats close by, allowing locals to escape the city and enjoy nature reserves and green spaces that cover almost 1900 hectares. Sherwood Forest Park is one of these - a royal forest in Nottinghamshire where legend says Robin Hood lived with his merry men in the 15th century.

This city has the perfect demographic for Kosy Co Living as we seek to provide modern, fully furnished and all-bills included rental homes aimed at professionals and graduates. Our model will provide an exciting living option for those who want to connect and live with like-minded people. Residents will have the ability to enjoy their own privacy and serenity yet have a multitude of spaces to socialise and work with unlimited access to our co working spaces.

Nottingham is also starting to grow its BTR offering, ideal for single people, couples and families looking for modern and furnished rental homes in well-located areas within the city. The convenience, efficiencies and services provided by build-to-rent make them stand-out against more traditional housing/HMO’s.

Both co living and BTR (build to rent) will contribute towards the city's housing requirements, whilst helping Nottingham retain its skilled graduates and workforce. There is also a requirement for student accommodation in the city, with Nottingham City Council recently reporting there is a shortfall of around 5,500 beds due to increasing numbers of students (2022).
