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.

If your letting agent isn’t delivering, you don’t have to stay stuck. Switching agents is easier than many landlords realise and could protect your investment long-term. Here’s how the process works, and why September is the perfect time to act.

Located in the popular Constable Close off London Rd, Attleborough, this 3-bedroom semi-detached home offers a lounge off the entrance hall, fitted kitchen/diner, refitted bathroom, garage, and west-facing garden backing onto a play park, the property is offered with no onward chain.

In Attleborough, parking is more than a convenience—it’s essential. With most households owning cars, access to parking shapes how we live and choose homes.
