Professional house buying firm Property Solvers' speed of sale toolhas revealed that it's taking an average of 15.99 weeks to sell a property in the Carlisle (CA) postcodes

Updated monthly, the latest dataset analysed more than 620 property sales across the region between March 2020 and March 2021.

The statistics track the moment a property is listed on the UK’s largest property portal Rightmove to the point it’s marked as officially ‘sold’ at the HM Land Registry.

In the CA9, CA11, CA18 and CA27 postcodes, out of the 49 tracked properties in the 12 months to March 2021, home sellers were waiting 176 days on average from listing to completion.

Properties were selling fastest in the the CA5, CA17, CA21, CA25 and CA26 postcodes.

The data showed that 38 homes in these areas took 64 days to sell on average.

Property Solvers co-founder, Ruban Selvanayagam said: “Although buyer demand hasn’t waned over the course of the pandemic, the length of time for transactions to complete has certainly lengthened.

“Operational activity has still pretty much continued, but the home sales industry – like many others – has had to learn to adapt over the last year. Many solicitors, mortgage brokers and other professionals in our sector have been working from home which has often resulted in administrative and other operational delays.

“However, with positive news around the vaccine roll-out, as more people gradually return to offices and agencies, we’re cautiously optimistic about things picking up over the course of the year.”
