Thanks to All  Our Christmas Heroes

Thanks to All Our Christmas Heroes

In this two-minute read, we say a big thank you to all those who are working or volunteering during the Christmas period.

It’s the night before Christmas, and excitement is reaching fever pitch among children (and adults, some of our team included).
But let’s also spare a thought and share some gratitude for the people, around one million of them across the UK, who work on December 25th.
While you’re tucking into the turkey or munching away on your seasonal veg, it can be easy to forget that it’s another working day for some of our neighbours.
Emergency services, hospital staff, carers, traffic officers, HGV drivers, and hospitality workers all come to mind as people who will be putting in shifts while many of us are having fun.
There are also scores of volunteers who give up their time on Christmas Day.
From helpline call handlers to those who organise lunches on December 25th for lonely or vulnerable people in the community.
These superstars are giving the most precious present anyone can – their time and attention.
So, to all those hardworking and community-spirited folks, we salute you.
You are local heroes, and we are grateful to you. And we hope you get some quality downtime to enjoy the festive season.
At Millbanks, we’ll be taking a well-earned break to prepare ourselves for what promises to be a very busy 2022 for the Attleborough and East Harling property market.

There are 243 homes across the UK named “Christmas Cottage”, each adding a festive note to the property map. From a £1.37m sale in Buckinghamshire to values sitting above the national average, these homes show that even a name can carry a seasonal premium and a story of its own.

Following on from the Chancellor’s Autumn Budget, this article breaks down what the new tax measures really mean for Attleborough. With the feared £500,000 property tax dropped and a targeted Mansion Tax on £2m-plus properties introduced, I explore the likely impact on local homeowners, landlords, and tenants, separating headlines from reality.

Nearly one in four agreed house sales in Attleborough failed to complete in 2025, a figure that catches many homeowners by surprise. This article explains why so many moves fall through, what it really costs local sellers, and the practical steps Attleborough homeowners can take to reduce risk and improve their chances of a successful move.
