How do you choose your agent?

In this short article we look at how people choose their Estate Agent

  • Capability and market knowledge top the list of how prospective home buyers choose their agent according to results of the 2020 Property Academy Home Moving Trends Survey analysed by Dataloft.
  • Confidence in ability was rated by more homemovers than any other single quality and far outweighed the 19% who included 'lowest fee' in their top 5.
  • ‘Liked and trusted’ (69%) and ‘handled similar properties’ (59%) complete the top 5 which remain consistent across all different age groups.
  • Younger buyers, aged up to 34, were more likely however to include portals, fees and ratings in their top 5 choices. Source: Dataloft, Property Academy Home Moving Trends Survey 2020, % of respondents

Are we making the most of the space we live in? In towns like Attleborough and across the UK, millions of homes boast two or more unused bedrooms—a surprising reality that cuts to the heart of the country’s housing debate. With 8.9 million properties sitting on excess space, it’s time to ask: are we using our homes as wisely as we think?

Thinking of swapping stairs for space and single storey living? As more people prioritise family connections and practical living, bungalows have become the go-to choice for a wide range of buyers. But how much should you expect to pay—and where?

As Q2 nears its end, Attleborough’s housing market shows promise, with more homes going under offer in Q1 2025 than in the same period last year. This rise, seen across much of the UK, signals growing buyer confidence and strong market activity.

You may have seen property gurus filling up your social media feeds with tales of how they bought a number of properties without using any of their own savings, and now they have retired at the age of 32 with a portfolio worth £10m. And of course, for the princely sum of £997, you can learn how to do this too.
