Did you know there are 5 homes in the UK called “Halloween” & 3 more even go by “Halloween Cottage"

Did you know there are homes in the UK actually named “Halloween”? From Norwich to the Cotswolds, each carries its own spooky charm. A home’s name can spark emotion before anyone steps inside—proof that properties sell not just on bricks and mortar, but on the stories they tell.

You’ll find them in places like Norwich, Southampton, Bristol, Leatherhead and the Cotswolds. Imagine the postman’s face every October when he has to deliver there.
What’s fascinating is how a name instantly changes the feeling we have about a property.

“Halloween” sounds eerie and mysterious. “Rose Cottage” feels warm and cosy. “The Old Rectory” sounds grand and established.
 
It’s a reminder that homes don’t just sell on bricks and mortar.

They sell on emotion.
 
Buyers aren’t just buying square footage. They’re buying how a place makes them feel the moment they see the name on the gate or the sign by the drive.
 
So, whether it’s “Halloween Cottage” or “The Coach House,” every name tells a story before the viewer has even stepped through the door.
 
Happy Halloween from your local Attleborough estate agent.

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.

Selling a family home is about more than moving, it’s about managing a transition with clarity, care and confidence. Here’s how to approach your move in early 2026 with less stress and more ease.

This data shows a clear north–south split in UK housing supply. Homes for sale are rising across London and the South, while much of the North is seeing stock fall. The contrast raises questions about affordability, confidence, and whether higher supply in the South could limit house price growth into 2026.

A new £2m-plus home surcharge is billed as progressive, but its impact falls mainly on London and the South East, where many owners now face an annual bill from 2028. Critics warn it punishes long-term residents, cools the prime market and deepens regional divides, even as households weigh downsizing. Many fear a new cliff edge at £2m too.
