With plans announced to raise the council tax surcharge on higher-value homes, this snapshot looks at how many Ā£2m-plus properties have actually sold across the UK this year. The data shows a highly concentrated market, dominated by London, and reveals just how small this sector is nationally despite the noise around a ā€œmansion tax.ā€

If you own or rent property in Attleborough, tracking price trends matters. One useful indicator is the average price paid over the last 12 months, updated monthly. On its own it’s just a number, but over time it reveals direction, momentum, and what the local market may mean for your next property decision.

There are 243 homes across the UK named ā€œChristmas Cottageā€, each adding a festive note to the property map. From a Ā£1.37m sale in Buckinghamshire to values sitting above the national average, these homes show that even a name can carry a seasonal premium and a story of its own.

Despite the headlines, first-time buyers in Attleborough are not locked out of homeownership. When you look beyond prices and focus on monthly mortgage costs, affordability today is far better than many realise. The data challenges the doom narrative and shows that, while deposits are tough, buying a first home is still possible.
