Landmark: Transaction Milestone Report

Why don’t lower volumes mean faster property transactions?

In 2024, we witnessed steady but consistently lower transaction volumes. That begs the question: Why don’t lower volumes mean faster transactions? Our latest Property Transactions Report seeks to find out.

Spoiler alert: aside from some marginal variances, property transaction timescales did not vastly alter in 2024, despite reduced transaction volumes. The question is: why?   

The  latest Property Transactions Report – entitled Why don’t lower volumes mean faster transactions? – seeks to answer that question (and more), delving into 17 years’ worth of data, with cross-market commentary from our experts.  

Major talking points covered in the report include:   
  • What are the persistent bottlenecks in the home-buying process?   
  • Where have timelines improved? 
  • How do property transaction timescales compare to consumer expectations?  
In this report, we analyse the time taken between key transaction milestones and how they have changed over time, including: 
  • Instruction to completion timescales for sales and purchases 
  • Contract issued to buyer enquiries received timescales for sales 
  • Instruction to mortgage offer received timescales for purchases
