It takes 139 days to sell property in London, making it among the slowest property markets across the UK, research from Sell Homes Fast has found.
In the capital luxury five-bedroom properties and one-bedroom flats tend to experience longer selling periods.
In contrast, more affordable family homes, especially terraced and semi-detached houses, usually sell quicker due to higher demand.
The slowest market across the entirety of the UK was Aberdeen, where it takes 150 days to sell.
Semi-detached homes generally sell quicker in this city, up for sale for 107 days on average. Properties priced between £500,000 and £1,000,000 take 79 fewer days to sell.
After that comes Bournemouth (143), Luton (132) and Brighton and Hove (130).
Glasgow’s housing market is the fastest in the UK, with properties selling in just 36 days.
The quickest sales are for semi-detached and terraced homes, popular among young professionals and families drawn to the area.
Detached properties may take slightly longer, but the 51 days is still way below the national average of 130. Dundee (59) and Edinburgh (71) also feature in the top three fastest markets.
