Property Solvers co-founder, Ruban Selvanayagam said: “Although buyer demand hasn’t waned over the course of the pandemic, the length of time for transactions to complete has certainly lengthened.

“Operational activity has still pretty much continued, but the home sales industry – like many others – has had to learn to adapt over the last year. Many solicitors, mortgage brokers and other professionals in our sector have been working from home which has often resulted in administrative and other operational delays."

Tracking 41 properties in the NN12 postcode over the last year showed that home sellers in that area waited 141 days on average from listing to completion.

Properties were sold the fastest in the NN6 and NN16 postcodes - 95 homes in these areas took 99 days to sell on average.

Mr Selvanayagam continued: "With positive news around the vaccine roll-out, as more people gradually return to offices and agencies, we’re cautiously optimistic about things picking up over the course of the year.”
