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.

An exceptional fully renovated 3-bed detached bungalow on Watton Road, Great Hockham. Set on a secluded quarter-acre plot, this non-estate home offers modern living with a new kitchen, bathroom, windows, roof, and heating system. Spacious lounge with fireplace, wrap-around gardens, and ample gated parking, perfect for those seeking privacy.

The Bank of England’s latest rate cut to 4%—its lowest in two years—offers a boost to buyer confidence and affordability. With UK home sales up 7.5% year-on-year, the move is expected to support stability in Attleborough’s housing market, though the pace of mortgage rate changes may remain gradual.

That’s despite downturns, political chaos and a cost-of-living crisis. Whether you’ve owned for years or are just getting started, this stat should make every Attleborough homeowner and landlord sit up and take notice.
