As 2025 draws to a close, this report examines how the UK and Attleborough property markets have performed and what may lie ahead in 2026. By comparing listings, sales, and prices with previous years, it reveals a market driven more by activity and confidence than by rising house prices.

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.

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.

If you own or rent property in Attleborough, tracking price trends matters. One useful indicator is the average price paid over the last 12 months, updated monthly. On its own it’s just a number, but over time it reveals direction, momentum, and what the local market may mean for your next property decision.
