Football vs homes

With England playing Scotland tonight and Wales successful against Turkey the other night, we take a quick look at the approximate value of the playing squads of each of the competing home nations squads in relation to housing.

  • Euro 2020 is underway, the home nations experiencing mixed fortunes in their first matches. The most valuable team in the competition is England, the 26 man squad the equivalent in price terms to over 4188 homes.
  • Each player in the England squad is worth an average of £44 million, compared to £9 million and £6 million Scotland and Wales. In context, less than 1000 homes have sold for over £6 million in the last two years.
  • While the value of the Scottish and Welsh teams is considerably less than the Three Lions, in housing terms their purchasing power remains impressive.
  • The total value of the 24 teams competing in Euro 2020 is just shy of £9.4 billion, that’s more than the £8.66 billion taken in residential SDLT receipts across the UK in 2020/21.

This map reveals how homes in Attleborough are owned, from mortgage-free households to rented areas. These patterns matter because ownership shapes how and why people move, whether driven by lifestyle choices, long-term roots, or changing life stages, offering valuable insight into the local property landscape.

As Attleborough’s property market becomes more competitive, pricing strategy has never been more crucial. With twice as many homes for sale as three years ago, sellers must think smart to stand out. This article explores how price bands, reductions, and timing can make all the difference in achieving a successful sale.

Over the past three years, the number of homes for sale has surged dramatically, far outpacing the national rise. Yet, despite the increase, supply remains tighter than in past downturns. With more choice for buyers, success now depends on smart, realistic pricing that stands out in a competitive market.
