Since the 1st of January 2019, 9.1 million homes have come onto the UK property market.
 
I here at Millbanks of Attleborough, Norfolk wanted to look at the breakdown of the distribution of property types within that figure. 
 
Most of these homes, 66% of these were houses. Flats made up around 20%, and bungalows accounted for 8%, reflecting the diverse nature of housing stock available across the country.
 
The remaining 6% includes various other types of properties, such as retirement homes, mixed-use residential and commercial properties, HMO’s and mobile homes etc. 
 
This data highlights the ongoing prominence of houses in the market, but also shows a significant portion of flats and bungalows, which cater to different buyer preferences and lifestyle needs.
 
For those interested in the property market, these figures offer a clear picture of the types of homes entering the market in recent years and provide useful insights for estate agents, investors, and potential buyers alike.

Welcome back to the latest insight into Attleborough’s property market. This month’s £ per square foot snapshot offers a fresh look at the market’s underlying rhythm. It reflects the mix of homes currently for sale rather than headline price swings. Curious how your property fits the picture? Let’s arrange a relaxed, no obligation chat.

January 2026 showed a market regaining momentum. Across much of the UK, sales agreed are running ahead of two years ago, led by the Midlands and East. Scotland and Wales are also strengthening. London remains mixed, and Northern Ireland softer. This is not a boom, but a steady, broad based rebuild driven by realistic pricing.

The latest figures on the average rent paid by new tenants in February 2026 reveal a market that is no longer moving in one direction across the UK. Instead, regional differences are becoming clearer, with some areas still seeing modest growth while others, particularly in the South, are starting to soften.

In early 2023, forecasters warned of a steep UK housing slump, predicting falls of up to 15% after rising rates and political turmoil. Three years on, the data tells a calmer story. HM Land Registry shows prices nearly 4% higher nationally, with Attleborough steady. As 2026 begins, is crash talk fact or just headlines?
