It seems that Londoners need to be particularly patient when it comes to selling, especially when compared to other parts of the UK. In Northern Ireland, one of the most affordable parts of the UK, homes take just 32 days to be Sold STC, while the South West has the longest average sales time, taking 71 days, or well over two months. Like London, homes in Wales take 65 days to sell, while the commuter belt of the South East is marginally quicker at 64 days. Scotland famously has a slightly different property-buying process to the rest of the UK, and it seems to be paying off, as it takes just 35 days for a property to sell there.
