What NOT to Buy Your Partner this Valentine’s Day

What NOT to Buy Your Partner this Valentine’s Day

A 60-second speed read.

The Beatles were right when they sang ‘money can’t buy me love.’
But money can buy you a gift to give to your significant other. The trouble is not all ‘romantic gifts’ are created equally and received gratefully.
And with Valentine’s Day on Sunday here are seven presents to avoid.
1)     Anything weight-related – Slim-Fast won’t go down too well.
2)     Cheap and not so cheerful flowers. The petrol station posies won’t hit the spot.
3)     Anything DIY related.
4)     A hoover. Seriously? What are you thinking?
5)     Expired gift cards. Result – you’ve found a gift card in the kitchen drawer. But check the date before you pass it off as a gift for your other half.
6)     A massive Teddy bear. This was dubbed the most cliched Valentine gift in a survey by an online dating company.
7)     Nothing – Perhaps the worst thing you could do is to forget Valentine’s Day totally – if you do you may be making an emergency dash to the petrol station. See point 2.
At Millbanks we might not be able to help you find true love, but we’re passionate about matching people with properties they adore.

Despite the headlines, the property market is proving far more resilient than many expect. Sales are continuing, buyers remain active, and well-priced homes are still attracting strong interest. The difference today is that success depends on strategy, with realistic pricing now more important than ever.

National headlines can paint a confusing picture of the property market, but the latest July figures reveal a more balanced story. While sales have eased compared with last year, activity remains well ahead of 2023. So what does this mean for Attleborough homeowners thinking of moving in today's more selective market?

The Attleborough property market may seem constantly on the move, but appearances can be deceiving. New analysis reveals that just one in three homes has sold more than once in the last 30 years, highlighting a fascinating divide between the properties that change hands regularly and those that remain with the same owners for decades.
