Five ‘musical’ tips to get your home ready for summer

Discover the simple things you can do to get your property ready for sale or rent this summer. We promise you it’ll be music to your ears. A 90-second Fast Thursday read.

Amid all the Covid-19 chaos that’s blighted our lives during the past three months, let’s hope brighter days are on the horizon. Literally.
‘Summer, summer, summertime’ officially starts on Saturday 20 June, and these tuneful tips below will help you prepare for it, especially if you are planning to sell your home or rent your property out.
1 Let’s Go Outside
Ensure your outdoor area is ready by tidying it up where necessary, get any odd jobs sorted and have prospective buyers or tenants swooning and remembering ‘the first time, ever they saw your place.’
2 The Green Green Grass of Home
If you have a garden now is the perfect time to make the most of it. Mow the lawn, prune the bushes, and create a place where people can imagine relaxing on a summer’s evening listening to their favourite songs.
3 Space Oddity 
No list of how to sell or rent a property would be complete without this piece of timeless advice. De-clutter as much as possible. Buyers and renters seek space as much as the musical legend David Bowie did during his Ziggy Stardust phase.
4 Smells Like Clean Spirit
Ok so we’ve played around with the title a little, but it’s worth it. People who are looking at property use all their senses to make their decisions, including smell. So, keep on top of odours with plenty of fresh air, deodorisers, or scented candles.
5 When You’re Cleaning windows
Viewers are put off by dirty windows so give them a good clean and let the sunshine flood in.

Attleborough’s private rental market has undergone a dramatic transformation, with average rents rising by more than 40% since 2021. But behind the headline figures lies a more nuanced story of limited supply, changing tenant expectations and increasing pressures on landlords. So, where is the market heading, and does buy-to-let still stack up?

The UK ranks 29th in Europe for homeownership at 65%, trailing far behind Eastern Europe’s 85%+. Despite rising deposits and affordability hurdles, the British dream of owning a home remains a powerful symbol of security. We explore why homeownership is changing and why the desire to own is still as strong as ever.

Bungalows are enjoying something of a renaissance in Attleborough. Once dismissed as homes for later life, these single-storey properties are attracting downsizers, families and increasingly younger buyers. But is this simply a lifestyle shift, or are the numbers telling us something more significant about Attleborough’s property market?

The "Generation Rent" narrative is shifting. New data shows under-35 homeownership jumped from 31% to 42% in a decade, while it actually fell for those aged 35-64. While affordability is still a hurdle, the dream of owning a home is far from dead for the youth. Is "Generation Rent" getting older? We explore the changing property landscape.
