The data, from March 2024 to March 2025 tracks the time a property is first listed on Rightmove to being marked as officially sold at HM Land Registry, was revealed by experts at Property Solvers.
Ruban Selvanayagam of Property Solvers said: “While Ealing’s sale times remain in line with historical trends, there are encouraging signs that greater adoption of tech-driven efficiencies by industry stakeholders will help reduce transaction lengths. A key example is improving the accessibility and transparency of property-related data, making transactions more seamless.”
Mr Selvanayagam added: “it’s also worth noting that many buyers were pushing for their transactions to complete before 1 April 2025 given the reintroduction of the 2% Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) band.”
