The monthly-updated data tracked 7,624 property sales between July 2018 and July 2019.

The tool calculates time period between a property’s initial listing on Rightmove to the point at which it’s officially marked as ‘sold’ at HM Land Registry

According to Property Solvers co-founder James Durr, “Although we’re not able to monitor every house sale from start to finish at this stage, our data collection has captured a decent cross-section of the Greater London market.”

Whilst the latest statistics revealed that over 20 sales in West Central and East Central London were taking as little as 5 weeks on average to sell, West London was the best performer (with a more statistically significant number of sales).

Covering more central parts of the city including Marylebone and Paddington, stretching out to Chiswick, Ealing and Hanwell, 244 homes took an average of 12 weeks to sell.

Commenting on the latest data, Durr added: “it’s been encouraging to see a relatively speedy velocity of house sales across West London.”

“It’s arguably a testament to estate agents taking a more realistic approach to pricing alongside more efficient mortgage processing, survey and conveyancing process coming into play.”

“As this data will be updated on a monthly basis, it will be interesting to see if these trends continue – especially as tech becomes a fundamental component of any property-related business or service.”
