Bristol and Reading quickest sales

June 11, 2015

According to estateagent4me, a performance-based estate agent comparison service, Bristol and Reading had the quickest sales across England, with an average of 26 days, that is 29 days faster than the UK average of 55 days. The slowest region was Liverpool, with 85 days.

Estateagent4me.co.uk claims to identify the country’s best-performing agents based on specific statistics, such as the sale price achieved compared to the asking price, amount of properties sold and speed of sale.

Managing Director of Estateagent4me Ben Thompson reportedly said, “At present, sellers base their choice of estate agent on instinct, word of mouth and how many boards they see in their local area – this just isn’t enough in today’s marketplace.

“Selling your home is a major thing to do and can be stressful. It is also an expensive process, so estateagent4me makes the whole process more transparent and based on real data rather than gut feel. There can be huge differences across estate agents in terms of performance and success rates. By selecting the right agent to suit their needs, individuals can have a vastly improved experience of  selling their home.”

Estateagent4me is a recently launched estate agent comparison website, further details on the report can be found on their website.
