Percentage Of Chances of Selling

Percentage Of Chances of Selling

Thinking of selling your Attleborough home? You’re not alone—but not every property finds its buyer. In today’s changing market, success comes down to realistic pricing, good presentation, and the right marketing strategy to help your home stand out and move.

Will Your Attleborough Home Actually Sell?
When a home goes on the market, not every one of them sells and the homeowner moves home. In fact, since January 2025, of the 1,236,316 UK homes that have left estate agents’ books across the UK, only 680,896 (or 55.1%) have actually sold and homeowner moved (ie exchanged and completed), with the rest 555,420 (44.9%) withdrawn unsold.
This data shows how important realistic pricing and strong marketing are, especially the further South you go. The numbers below show the percentage chance that a home has sold and completed since the start of the year:
· Northern Ireland – 82.3%
· Scotland – 79.5%
· Yorkshire & The Humber – 61.7%
· North East – 61.1%
· North West – 59.7%
· West Midlands – 59.1%
· Wales – 58.1%
· East Midlands – 55.8%
· South West – 53.6%
· East Anglia – 50.9%
· South East – 50.1%
· London – 39.8%
Homes in the North are far more likely to reach exchange & completion than those in the South. Sellers who overprice are finding buyers reluctant to engage, while those who start with realistic expectations are the ones successfully moving.
