The UK’s fastest selling neighbourhoods

 

Rightmove has recently announced the top UK neighbourhoods where homes are selling fastest… has your town made the list?

Out of the top ten fastest selling locations, seven were in Scotland – good news for those trying to sell north of the border. And whilst the market is generally more settled than last year, it’s still buoyant, with an average selling time of 55 days for the UK and 34 days for Scotland. For comparison, the average selling time for a home in March 2019 was 67 days.

Other findings in the report show that London is still the slowest market, with an average property sale time of 65 days. Properties that lie in commuter belts for major cities are selling faster than last year, for example Windsor in Berkshire, Knaphill in Surrey, and Cowley in Oxfordshire – albeit they didn’t make the top ten list.

Here’s a few of the featured top ten, including a few examples of homes for sale through Keller Williams agents!

Falkirk, Stirlingshire – Average sale time: 22 days

Racking up a number of accolades in recent years, including “Most Beautiful Town” and “Best Walking Neighbourhood”, Falkirk is steeped in history and has won the top spot for the fastest house sales this quarter. With an average sale time of only 22 days – if you’ve got a home here the chances of a quick sale are high!
