With Easter just around the corner, now is a strategic moment to prepare your home for market, before buyer demand peaks and properties move fastest.

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.

Something significant is shifting on our streets, and most people have not noticed. Nearly one in five UK homes is now privately rented, quietly reshaping communities like Attleborough. Who is driving this change, and what does it mean for prices, demand, and neighbourhood life? The answers may surprise you.

Thinking of renting out your home? With major rental reforms arriving in 2026, the days of private, informal lettings are over. Here’s what every homeowner needs to know to stay compliant, protected and prepared.
