Over the past three years, the number of homes for sale has surged dramatically, far outpacing the national rise. Yet, despite the increase, supply remains tighter than in past downturns. With more choice for buyers, success now depends on smart, realistic pricing that stands out in a competitive market.

This map highlights parts of Attleborough where many homes have spare bedrooms sitting unused. Extra space brings comfort and flexibility, but it also carries costs and questions about whether a home still fits its owner’s stage of life. Understanding where space is underused helps spark thoughtful conversations about future housing choices.

This week’s property update looks at the latest £-per-square-foot trends, offering a snapshot of how the market is moving. While small shifts may not signal price changes, they reveal the evolving mix of homes for sale and provide valuable insight into overall market health and momentum.

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.
