Sticking with it

In this quick speed read, we look at the mood within the current property market

  • Research by Rightmove indicates the vast majority of sales will continue if buyers miss the June or September SDLT deadlines.
  • A proportion of buyers (25% Rightmove, 42% Dataloft subscriber poll) are likely to renegotiate on price and this may well act as a brake on rising house prices.
  • Zoopla estimate 1.5 million property sales will take place this year, making 2021 the busiest market since 2007.
  • Following the first lockdown, just 61% of movers felt a high street agency presence was essential, yet just 1 in 25 sellers used an independent or online agent with no presence.

This map reveals how homes in Attleborough are owned, from mortgage-free households to rented areas. These patterns matter because ownership shapes how and why people move, whether driven by lifestyle choices, long-term roots, or changing life stages, offering valuable insight into the local property landscape.

This map highlights the average size of homes sold across the UK since 2020, measured in square feet from completed sales. What stands out is how little the averages vary between regions, despite very different housing types. Northern Ireland is the clear exception, with noticeably larger homes on average.

Some homes sell swiftly while others linger, quietly slipping from view. The gap isn’t chance, it’s sellability. Price, presentation, and guidance decide who wins attention early and who stalls. Understanding what makes a home irresistible can turn uncertainty into momentum.

This visual snapshot reveals how property values rarely move in unison. Some streets surge ahead, others advance more quietly, each following its own rhythm. It’s a reminder that markets are made of micro stories, where proximity alone doesn’t guarantee the same outcome.
