The latest data from GetAgent.co.uk has revealed how current market conditions are impacting the price achieved by home sellers in England and Wales.
Those selling a home in England and Wales are currently getting an average of 95.94% of their asking price, research by estate agent comparison website GetAgent.co.uk has found.
Properties in Sheffield postcode S7 are the most profitable for home sellers as they typically gain 104.09% of the average asking price of £295,862.

Colby Short, founder and CEO of GetAgent.co.uk, said: “The current state of the UK property market really depends on whether you are a glass half full or half empty home seller.
"On the face of it, rather tough conditions with less than 1% of postcodes in England and Wales achieving asking price or above.
"However, given the position we currently find ourselves in, with Brexit still dragging on and many having predicted the complete downfall of the market, it’s perhaps not as gloomy as we’ve been led to believe.
"The vast majority of those looking to sell are still securing upwards of 95% of their price expectations and this is far from a kick in the teeth in any market.”
