The Autumn Budget brought predictable housing and tax shifts, headlined by a 2028 levy on £2m+ homes that affects under 1% of properties but will shape behaviour for years. Landlords face tighter margins as taxes rise, while Attleborough’s market absorbs uncertainty. The measures add clarity rather than comfort as pressures build.

A new £2m-plus home surcharge is billed as progressive, but its impact falls mainly on London and the South East, where many owners now face an annual bill from 2028. Critics warn it punishes long-term residents, cools the prime market and deepens regional divides, even as households weigh downsizing. Many fear a new cliff edge at £2m too.

Many Attleborough homeowners set out to move with optimism, only to find their plans stalled before they ever got going. The market has shifted, expectations have drifted, and ambitious pricing has quietly derailed countless moves. Understanding why this happens is the first step toward making your next chapter a reality.

As Attleborough’s property market becomes more competitive, pricing strategy has never been more crucial. With twice as many homes for sale as three years ago, sellers must think smart to stand out. This article explores how price bands, reductions, and timing can make all the difference in achieving a successful sale.
