Downsizing opportunities

Downsizing opportunities

In this quick read article, we take a look at the opportunities for downsizers

  • Downsizing to a smaller home can be an opportunity for those looking to save money, and enjoy the equity freed from their home sale. The average price difference between a 3+ bed house and a 2-bed flat in the UK is £161,728.
  • The scale of equity released by downsizing is most significant in London and the South East, with an average equity release of £516,436 and £342,291 respectively.
  • All UK regions, with just one exception have a price difference between a 3+ bed house and a 2-bed flat of over £100,000.
  • Those with significant housing equity are often able to downsize to a property with less maintenance and enjoy a better lifestyle. Cash released may be used to help children and grandchildren onto the property ladder.

Attleborough’s terraces and town houses form the heart of the local property market, offering a mix of period charm and modern convenience. From character-filled homes near the centre to contemporary builds on newer estates, they remain popular with first-time buyers, movers, and landlords alike, thanks to their versatility and enduring appeal.

The UK property market is showing renewed energy, with most regions seeing more homes going under offer than this time last year. Activity outside London is leading the way, driven by demand and relative affordability. Still, with only around half of listings finding a buyer, realistic pricing remains crucial.
