Buying your first home is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming. With so much to consider—budgets, mortgages, legal paperwork, and finding the right property—it’s easy to feel lost in the process. This guide outlines the key things every first-time buyer should know before taking that first step onto the property ladder.
Ever noticed that new homes usually cost more than older ones? That extra is known as the “new build premium.” Like a new car, it reflects freshness, modern features, and peace of mind. With energy efficiency, contemporary design, and low maintenance, many buyers see the added value as worth the higher price.
Bungalows aren’t built equal across the UK—sizes swing widely. Northern Ireland tops the list at 1,170 sq.ft, while Yorkshire & the Humber trails at 875 sq.ft, a 34% gap. When downsizing, would you trade your location for extra room?
Detached homes remain highly sought-after in and around Attleborough, thanks to their space, flexibility, and access to local schools and transport. While averages offer a useful guide, a home’s true value depends on its size, condition, location, and how it’s presented to the market.
