What are home buyers resolving to do in 2021?

A 90-second speed read to share some resolution ideas to bring some hope in 2021.

99.9 per cent of us cannot wait to see the back of 2020.
And what better time to draw a line under this ‘unprecedented’ year than the opportunity to welcome in a new year. And one which brings new hope.
Below are 10 of the most common resolutions people have made over the past five years, according to polling website You.Gov.
1)     Exercise more.
2)     Eat more healthily.
3)     Lose weight.
4)     Budget finances better.
5)     Learn something new.
6)     Spend more time with friends and family. (Fingers crossed).
7)     Get more sleep.
8)     Reduce stress.
9)     Travel more (here’s hoping).
10)  Focus on spiritual growth.
And here are five of the most common resolutions we hear home seekers in Attleborough and East Harling make.
1)     A home with more room.
2)     A home nearer loved ones and/or good schools.
3)     A home with a room or space enabling working from home. (A new one for 2021).
4)     A home with a bigger garden or easy access to open space.
5)     A home with friendly neighbours.
At the heart of people’s resolutions is always a sense of hope.
And hope is something we’ll all be holding onto as we enter 2021.
And at Millbanks we’re hopeful the next 12 months will be much better than what we’ve endured in 2020.
Finally, we’d like to thank all our clients, colleagues, and our community for your support this year.
Here’s to hope, happiness and to happier times ahead.

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.

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.

The latest 0.25% interest rate cut may look modest on paper, saving the average variable mortgage holder around £31 a month, but its real influence runs deeper. Property markets are powered by confidence, and with mortgage rates easing and lenders competing again, sentiment is shifting. That change in mood is starting to matter.
