Since 2014, UK house prices have climbed by 65.4%, but this national figure masks the varied growth across regions. In places like Attleborough, property values reflect distinct local factors, leading to differences in growth rates from city to city and town to town.

Over the past 70 years, UK housing completions have reflected shifting priorities and responsibilities. In the 1950s and 1960s, local authorities, particularly through council house projects, led the charge in building new homes, as highlighted in this chart.

It’s no secret that the younger generation in Attleborough is finding it tough to get onto the property ladder. With the rising cost of living, stagnating wages, and stricter mortgage criteria, it's no surprise that fewer under-34s are becoming homeowners.
