How Quickly Do Properties In Warrington Sell?

One of the most frustrating things about selling property is that nothing is guaranteed. There’s no set timescale for almost any part of the process: you don’t know how many prospective buyers will view the property before one of them makes an offer you want to accept, and once you’ve accepted you’ll need to wait for your buyer to get a survey done, for their solicitor to do searches, for queries to be raised and answered, and then eventually for a completion date to be set. An obstacle at any point can derail the whole thing. 

That’s the bad news. The good news is, we can at least talk about average times — especially for the first part. There’s plenty of data available on how long properties sit on the market in different locations, and that might give you an idea of how long you’re likely to be waiting to get an offer.

How long does the average Warrington property spend on the market?

The latest data — which takes into account all properties sold in Warrington over the past year — shows that on average, properties spend 136 days on the market before selling. That’s about four and a half months between a property being listed for sale and being marked as sold. 

What kinds of properties sell fastest?

Beyond the overall statistic on property sales, there are also figures available for how long different kinds of properties spend on the market. Currently, in Warrington, terraced houses sell fastest — on average, these sell in 109 days (or just over three and a half months). Semi-detached houses are the next fastest, selling in an average of 113 days. Detached houses take an average of 137 days, while flats tend to take the longest of all properties to sell, at an average of 201 days.

The size of a property also makes a difference. Based again on recent property data, three- and four- bedroom homes sell fastest, at 122 days and 124 days on average, respectively. Five-bedroom homes take on average 136 days to sell, then two-bedroom properties, at 142 days. One bedroom homes take longest, at 184 days. 

Looking at the data overall then, it looks like family homes — specifically houses, with three or more bedrooms — are most in demand in Warrington.

How can I sell my property more quickly in Warrington?

Hoping to get moving more quickly than those average numbers? There are ways you can make your property more attractive to potential buyers — though some of those ways can be pretty expensive. 

The easiest and cheapest way to boost your home’s appeal to buyers is to declutter. Sometimes, prospective viewers can find it hard to imagine themselves in a property if the previous owner’s stuff is in the way. By making some space, you can help them make that mental leap more easily.

Once things are tidier, you could consider doing some minor renovations or redecorating. First impressions count for a lot, so doing some work to spruce up the exterior of your property and making sure the hallway is welcoming could go a long way towards getting you that all-important offer.
