North East leads England for fastest property transactions

What influences completion speeds

The analysis also found that lower-priced properties and freehold tenure correlated with faster completion rates.

Why it matters for agents

For letting agents and inventory clerks operating in the North East, quicker exchange timelines may affect how quickly instructions move through the process. The report shows regional variation in transaction speeds across England, with pricing and tenure among the factors associated with faster completions.
