In September 2014, the British government launched a special program of decentralization of political and economic life in the country. This policy has the goal to change the investment system following the example of many European countries. Besides the capital, other large cities should have a strong economy, a developed sector of public services, and an impact on decision-making at the country level. Nottingham is found among those UK cities that benefit the most from this program. Being a developed and dynamic urban center, it attracts annually more than 50 million tourists and residents of the surrounding cities to various exhibitions, festivals, and different cultural events. Nottingham is one of the five most visited cities in the UK, and its pace of economic development exceeds similar indicators in London and Manchester. The small and medium-sized businesses are actively developing now, and more than 7,000 new workplaces will be created by 2020. Investors who purchase commercial property in Nottingham, Leeds, and Southend-On-Sea can count on the highest level of return from the subsequent rent. Compared with any other UK cities, the lease of real estate there is the most profitable. In Nottingham, the return on investment exceeds 7% per year. All this creates attractive conditions for renting and purchasing real estate, which is cheaper than in London, but it provides high profitability similar to the capital. Therefore, both foreign investors and residents of the UK are interested in commercial property in Nottingham.
