Buying and selling over Christmas

Many people think that trying to move house or even put their home up for sale over the festive period is a mistake, but that is no longer the case. People have more free time and motivation to make a change in time for the New Year, so it can be a great time to buy and sell.

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell.

For many Attleborough homeowners in their 50s and 60s, the appeal of single-storey living is growing. Whether it’s for easier maintenance, future planning, or simply the charm of bungalow life, demand remains strong — and with limited supply, these sought-after homes continue to hold their value.

The Autumn Budget brought predictable housing and tax shifts, headlined by a 2028 levy on £2m+ homes that affects under 1% of properties but will shape behaviour for years. Landlords face tighter margins as taxes rise, while Attleborough’s market absorbs uncertainty. The measures add clarity rather than comfort as pressures build.
