The average time a UK house takes to sell, from being listed to being sold, subject to contract, is 37 days. However, in Knowsley, Merseyside, it only takes 22 days, making this the third quickest area for house selling in the UK, after Carlisle and Copeland.
Over the last five years, Knowsley has ranked second amongst the quickest towns for house sales, behind Carlisle.
Property website Zoopla tracked how fast property sales take place in the UK. The average selling time of 37 days is a week longer than the 30-day average five years ago. In the period between 2020 to 2022, sales were quicker, at an average of 22 days.
In London, home sales are slower at an average of 45 days. Kensington and Chelsea is the slowest area for home sales at an average of 70 days.
Zoopla says high mortgage rates and affordability checks contribute to home-buying delays by reducing competition between buyers. A rise in homes for sale has caused buyers to spend more time finding a home.
To help sellers calculate how long they should expect their home to take to sell, Zoopla has created a guide that can be accessed online, providing a selling estimate based on the property type and location.
