Attleborough: Homes Owned with a Mortgage – A Localised Snapshot

Attleborough: Homes Owned with a Mortgage – A Localised Snapshot

This snapshot explores the landscape of mortgaged homes in Attleborough today, including an overview of properties in the UK that are owned outright, with a mortgage or privately and socially rented.

This visual map of Attleborough highlights the varying proportions of homes in different parts of the town that are owned with a mortgage or loan. The darker the shade, the higher the percentage of homeowners in that area still repaying a mortgage. Conversely, the greener areas indicate a lower proportion of homes without a mortgage.
It’s important to note that just because an area is green, it doesn’t necessarily mean most residents own their homes outright. These areas may have a higher number of social rented properties (typically owned by housing associations or the local authority), or a significant presence of private rental accommodation. Some of these homes may indeed be owned outright, particularly by older residents who’ve paid off their mortgage.
Nationally, around 64% of dwellings in the UK are owner-occupied. This breaks down as:
  • 36% owned outright 
  • 28% owned with a mortgage or loan 
  • 19% privately rented 
  • 17% socially rented
