The "Generation Rent" narrative is shifting. New data shows under-35 homeownership jumped from 31% to 42% in a decade, while it actually fell for those aged 35-64. While affordability is still a hurdle, the dream of owning a home is far from dead for the youth. Is "Generation Rent" getting older? We explore the changing property landscape.

The housing market is often portrayed through city skylines and rural escapes, but the reality is much more familiar. Most moves happen in suburban neighbourhoods, among everyday homes shaped by families, life changes and local demand. Understanding this market is key to making confident decisions when buying or selling.

When comparing homes, price often grabs the headlines, yet space can be just as important. New floor area data reveals that the average home in Attleborough is 7.3% larger than the UK average. But the picture changes dramatically when you compare detached, semi-detached, terraced homes and flats across the local market.

Scrolling property portals is useful, but registering with an estate agency can give buyers a more personal, proactive search experience, especially when the right home is about to come to market.
