Property company Sell House Fast have revealed that in 2025, it takes an average of 77 days to sell a property in Northampton.
Outside of England, only Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee sell houses quicker, making Northampton fourth best in the UK.
To mark this study, the Chronicle & Echo has put together a list of the 10 most aspirational properties in Northampton that have gone on the market in the last seven days. Don’t hang around though...statistics show they may sell quickly!
Sell House Fast says speed of sale is an important factor.
A collapsed sale costs buyers £2,511 on average - including mortgage application fees, surveys, and solicitor costs. However, this could vary dramatically depending on where you live due to the difference in conveyancing fees - the total cost ranges from £3,477 in London to £1,893 in Wales.
Almost half of all sales fail simply because one party has second thoughts.
The fastest selling price range is between £200,000 and £300,000, as houses in this bracket were only on sale for 98 days - almost 54% quicker.
Three-bedroom properties fly off the market, with an average sale time of 91 days, compared to five-bedroom houses. These bigger estates typically take 20 weeks to sell due to the reduced demand for larger homes.
