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680,896 (or 55.1%) have actually sold and homeowner moved (ie exchanged and completed), with the rest 555,420 (44.9%) withdrawn unsold.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.
Accurate pricing remains the single biggest factor in turning ‘for sale’ into ‘sold’.

In 2020, Attleborough’s housing market mirrored the UK’s surge as lockdown lifted, with homes selling in days and prices climbing fast. Yet many of those pandemic purchases are now returning to the market. Shifting work patterns, higher mortgage costs, and lifestyle reassessments are reshaping today’s property landscape.

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

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.
