As summer 2025 settles in, Attleborough’s property market offers little comfort to first-time buyers. With deposits averaging £61,000 and costs rising faster than wages, homeownership feels increasingly out of reach. For many, the dream of buying a home is slipping into fantasy.

The property market is stirring again. In June 2025, 115,709 UK homes were marked as sold STC—up 8.7% from last year. But growth isn’t uniform—some areas are thriving, others slower. This isn’t just a spring bounce; it’s growing confidence, helped by realistic pricing, falling inflation, and stabilising mortgage rates.

Are we making the most of the space we live in? In towns like Attleborough and across the UK, millions of homes boast two or more unused bedrooms—a surprising reality that cuts to the heart of the country’s housing debate. With 8.9 million properties sitting on excess space, it’s time to ask: are we using our homes as wisely as we think?

Good news for Attleborough homebuyers! This Spring brings a welcome shift in the property market, with more homes available creating more choice for buyers across the UK compared to last year. That means more opportunities, and a better chance to find your perfect home in 2025.
