"We want to help our customers become more knowledgeable about the overall market and provide a guide for them to make the most informed decisions they can when deciding to move home.
"Our research not only shows the changes in the market over the past year, but also acts as a predictor to what we might be able to expect in the months to come.
"We value our customers and do our best to speed up the process to get them to purchase their new home as fast as possible.
"We offer speedy home mortgage applications, averaging 11 days to process.
“By looking at the time of sale, prospective buyers and sellers can have a better overall knowledge of the time it may take to sell their home and where in the UK the changes are.
"Our aim is to make sure customers are confident in the decisions they make as well as aware and prepared for the financial implications associated with moving home.”
