It may feel far too early to think about Christmas, but moving home takes longer than many sellers expect. Starting in July can make the journey calmer and more controlled.

A delightful 2-bedroom modern cottage-style mid-terrace cottage in a desirable mews location in well served village of East Harling. Featuring a cosy sitting room, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, and an enclosed patio garden with off-road parking, it offers comfortable living in a pleasant non-estate village setting.

When comparing homes, price often grabs the headlines, yet space can be just as important. New floor area data reveals that the average home in Attleborough is 7.3% larger than the UK average. But the picture changes dramatically when you compare detached, semi-detached, terraced homes and flats across the local market.

As school holidays approach, family buyers often become more focused. For sellers with space, gardens or flexible rooms, July can be a useful moment to attract motivated movers.
