A Covid-19 update for home sellers and landlords in Attleborough

A Covid-19 update for home sellers and landlords in Attleborough

In this 90-second read, we give you an update on what the Government’s report issued yesterday means to people thinking of selling or letting in Attleborough and East Harling

The UK Government’s plan to steer the four nations through the Covid-19 storm was released today at yesterday 2 pm.
And we’ve read through it and here’s our understanding of how it affects sellers, buyers, landlords and tenants in Attleborough and East Harling.
While factories and building sites can re-open if they follow the social distancing regulations, estate agency offices can’t, for now anyway.
And we don’t know for sure when we’ll be able to re-open our offices and return to accompanied viewings of some description.
It could be June 1. It could be July 1. It could even be longer, which is unlikely but a possibility.
We believe in telling our clients and community the truth, which is what we’re doing in this article to the best of our knowledge and understanding.
But we’re working hard to be all systems go when there is a relaxation around when and how viewings, valuations and face to face meetings can take place.
Behind the scenes of Millbanks, we’ve been working on:
Ordering PPE for our team.
Working on our clean office protocol.
Creating a plan to ensure people’s safety and health is paramount as we conduct our work.
Keeping in regular contact with buyers and tenants within our client base.
While it may be frustrating that we can’t do the job we love in the way we love doing it, the health of our community, the nation and our loved ones is more important.
As this is a constantly changing situation and admittedly quite confusing at times, we’re playing it by ear.
When we hear any official updates, which affect our clients or the property market in Attleborough and East Harling we’ll communicate them to you quickly.
If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to give us a call.
We’re very much open for business, just in a slightly different way, but our focus remains on supporting our clients, team, and community.
Thanks for reading, stay safe, stay sensible, and we’re here if you need us.

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?

More households are reassessing space in early 2026. If your home feels tighter than it once did, this spring may offer the right conditions to move up.

Over the past 25 years, UK house prices have risen significantly, quietly building wealth for homeowners along the way. While markets move in cycles, the long-term trend remains clear. For many households, their home has become one of the most consistent and powerful drivers of personal wealth.

If you are planning to sell in Attleborough, timing depends on more than luck. Property type, bedroom count, pricing and marketing all shape the outcome. Some homes attract swift interest, while others linger. Understanding local trends and launching at the right price from day one can make the difference between a smooth move and a stalled sale.
