Choosing a new home isn’t just about the property itself – the neighbourhood plays a huge role in your quality of life. From schools and transport links to local shops and community spirit, here’s what to look out for when deciding if an area is right for you.

In early 2023, headlines warned of a looming UK house price crash—but the reality has played out quite differently. Rather than collapse, the market has shown resilience, with modest shifts and growing stability, particularly in towns like Attleborough.
