Thinking of renting out your home? With major rental reforms arriving in 2026, the days of private, informal lettings are over. Here’s what every homeowner needs to know to stay compliant, protected and prepared.

Some homes sell swiftly while others linger, quietly slipping from view. The gap isn’t chance, it’s sellability. Price, presentation, and guidance decide who wins attention early and who stalls. Understanding what makes a home irresistible can turn uncertainty into momentum.

As 2025 draws to a close, this report examines how the UK and Attleborough property markets have performed and what may lie ahead in 2026. By comparing listings, sales, and prices with previous years, it reveals a market driven more by activity and confidence than by rising house prices.

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.
